Press release from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office: April 4, 2022 The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is aware of a video circulating on social media that references a traffic stop with one of our deputies. In the video, an 18 year old female claims she was stopped for drunk driving by the deputy, that she blew a "3.8" BAC, and was released with just a warning. She also claims the deputy gave her his phone number and said they should "meet for coffee or lunch." She goes on to say she "is getting lunch with him tomorrow." The video can be viewed at https://twitter.com/Imposter_Edits/status/1510530636100034563. We also have a video that disputes her claims. Our body worn camera video of this contact can be viewed in its entirety at driver's license, vehicle license plate, and deputy's computer screen have been redacted from the video. At timestamp 1:27, the deputy mutes his body worn camera while he was not in contact with the driver. He unmutes his camera at 5:37, prior to resuming contact with the driver.
