Two Roswell, Ga., who were caught on video flipping a virtual coin to determine if a speeding motorist would go to jail were fired on Thursday, reports WXIA-TV in Atlanta. In the body camera video, officers Courtney Brown and Kristee Wilson are heard discussing what they should about Webb, who was pulled over for speeding in April. Brown, who had added a reckless driving charge because of wet pavement, tells Wilson that she didn’t have speed detection. Wilson says she doesn’t have any tickets.
That’s when Brown opened a coin flip app on her phone. “A (arrest) head, R (release) tail,” Wilson says. Then, a tearful Webb was handcuffed and placed in the back of the police patrol car. The officers had been placed on administrative leave. On July 9, the charges against Webb were dismissed. It wasn’t until WXIA began asking questions two months after the incident that the officers were placed on administrative leave.
