This is the true account based on irrefutable information:
This account starts with the stopped vehicle and the suspect on the hood of the car apprehended and restrained by several Shelby Police Department Officers, the four year old girl inside the vehicle and the K-9 Officer sitting beside a SPD officer standing beside the vehicle closed passenger side front door with his arm on the partly opened rear passenger side door. The 4 year old girl was in the car and safe. The dog could not or did not even try to get into the vehicle at that point. This totally destroys the statement by the SPD Chief of Police Jeff Ledford right then and there.
Then the video clearly shows that the SPD Officer opened the door and the dog jumps inside.
Verbal reports say the Police gave the order for the dog to enter the vehicle. The video clearly show the K-9 sitting there beside the officer and only when the officer swings the door open does the dog respond. Also note that this video is shown in real time, at 25% speed AND in reverse. Watch these videos closely and you will see that my description is 100% accurate.
Verbal reports also say that at least one SPD Officer had his service pistol drawn and pointing at the occupants inside the vehicle. The good quality video also has good quality audio. The screams of fear from the vehicle occupants and bystanders are clear and unnerving in the video and the dog action has not even started. However, I personally was not able to determine from the video whether or not any SPD Officers had their weapons drawn and threatening the occupants. The suspect shown on the hood of the vehicle with several SPD Officers restraining him totally away from all dog related actions before and after the SPD Officer opened the door and the dog jumped inside the vehicle.
At this point the dog exits the vehicle dragging with it the 4 year old girl. The dog then starts dragging the little girl down the street like a rag. This vehicle shows the dog dragged the girl down the street past the rear end of the vehicle and out of site. (A second video from a different angle shows the dog drug the girl further down the street 10-20 feet behind the vehicle. The audio from that second video captured a bystander yelling for the SPD to get the dog off the little girl with plenty of expletives.
The video shows one of the SPD Officers, with a few seconds hesitation, starts after the dog dragging the girl. Just a couple seconds after that a young black man enters the camera view running (from left to right) toward the dog, the girl and the first SPD officer. Reports say that black man was the child’s father who had just been let out moments before and was rushing to the scene on foot to save his daughter. Reports say the SPD threatened to arrest him.
For your convenience we also show the relatively poor photograph of the girls wound and a “Wound Meter” that was included in my original article.
These videos completely destroy the SPD Police Chief’s account as previously included as well as destroyed the credibility of the Shelby Police Department as well as the City of Shelby. But this story does NOT end here.
Reports state that the SPD drove the wounded girl and others to he hospital where the child received emergency and extensive surgery. And then the hospital immediately released the girl to maintain the illusional story line that the wound was minor.
Reports state that a bystander with a video immediately posted on Facebook that she had video footage of the incident and within an hour SPD Officers were at her home and confiscated the video. So, there must have been more videos besides what have been provided to me. Reports also state that the SPD also called DSS on the bystander with allegations of child abuse or child neglect. All this indicates the cover-up conspiracy was immediate and ruthless. Others were reported to be threatened by the SPD regarding this episode. Perhaps that is the reason for the delay in providing me with the good quality videos.
Now the world wide web will orbit the globe at light speed with this article and proof positive on what happened to the little four year old girl. Google will pick up this article and this article will also be sent to CNN,. Fox News, CBS, ABC and NBC TV news, big newspapers and whomever else I can think of. This will not be a story that is covered up any longer.
Hopefully this story will break the back of Commissioner Eddie Holbrook’s insistence that bad news is bad for Cleveland County and should be shut down. Anybody planning on voting for Mr. Holbrook in his Primary Election bid to get re-elected should re-evaluated Mr. Holbrook as a candidate. Give Holbrook a call and ask him why he has NOT mentioned this outrageous but true story on his re-election campaign trail. And what he plans to do about it.
