In July, MPD was called to the Plantation Mobile Home Park in reference to a burglary. According to MPD when they arrived, they saw Dallas, and he ran. Investigators said he resisted arrest, which led to an officer tasing him twice.“The officers restrained themselves very well and had every right under the policy and under state law to implement deadly force, and they didn’t do it,” said Paul Prine, chief of Mobile Police.They have since been denied and continued to wonder why.
“It’s a little concerning that this video has not been released,” said Reverend Mark Thompson. “What is on it? What is it that we are not allowed to see?”Mobile police said they are now back on the job. Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood has said the family will be able to see the video, once a grand jury issues a report on the case.City of Mobile needs help naming new electric garbage truck
