6:45Now PlayingHelena-West Helena Police are looking into the body camera footage after a Black man accused one of their officers of unnecessarily pulling a gun on him Sunday morning.
Edrick Truitt uploaded Facebook video of the tense encounter, expressing to WREG how he feared for his life in the moment.
On the video, the officer could be heard shouting to fellow officers “He’s got a gun!” even as one of Truitt’s hands held his phone, and his other hand was in view of the video.
“Where!?” Truitt questioned, before refusing to take any further movement out of fear of his life. []
