Andrew Brown Jr. shooting: NC sheriff says cover-up accusations 'completely not true'
Fox News
A sheriff in North Carolina asking a judge to approve the release of body-camera footage of the deputy-involved shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. in Elizabeth City, N.C., told Fox News on Tuesday he would support a new law to get video out sooner – stressing transparency is important as protests have persisted across the community for one week straight.
"I truly want this video to be released. I, in fact, requested that the petition be filed to have this video released to the public," the sheriff told Fox News' Griff Jenkins. "Transparency is paramount not only for an agency, but for the community as well, because it helps us keep that trust with the community." "No one has to worry about the sheriff's office trying to hide anything," Wooten continued. "We're just not going to do that, you know, period. The sheriff said that any suggestion his office is intentionally withholding any part of the video is "completely not true."More Related News
