The man who took the video of Alton Sterling being shot to death by police has for all intents and purposes been fired from his job for posting the video on social media.
Christopher LeDay was arrested at his job less than a day after he posted the video of Sterling being killed by police. He was working at Dobbins Air Force Base when the police showed up and took him into custody for alleged assault and battery. LeDay’s lawyer says these are trumped up charges that are false.“He never had a warrant for an assault,” his lawyer Tiffany Simmons stated. “My client has never had any criminal history.” She goes on to say, “They never showed a warrant for an assault to my client, in fact my client was held in DeKalb County Jail for at least 26 hours and they never produced a warrant.”
When his lawyer asked to see the warrant for his arrest, and the police failed to come up with one, she was told that he was being held for unresolved traffic tickets. DeLay paid the tickets and went back to work. Or at least he tried to. He was not allowed on the base due to “security clearance issues.”
