Police in Chelsea, Oklahoma, say they were threatened and forced to
drop DUI charges against a man whom they say is very influential in the
small town.
Assistant Police Chief Travis Hogan reportedly showed KTUL a dashcam
video of a DUI that took place two months ago and has since stirred up a
lot of controversy.
"My officers have received threats. I personally and the chief has received threats to our jobs," Hogan told the news station.
On the evening of the incident in question, Officer Nicholas Pappe
reportedly pulled over a white Jeep and was greeted by Brian Haggard,
who is said to be a businessman who is very well connected, reports The
Blaze. Pappe was about to arrest Haggard for drinking while under the
influence, but what reportedly happened next stopped the department dead
in its tracks.
