The incident comes amid heightened tensions following the release of the video showing the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police.
"The officer who initiated the stop directed the driver to exit the vehicle and walk back to the officers," the post said.
The driver eventually exited the car, and the deputies holstered their weapons and placed him in handcuffs and into the back of a patrol car, the post said. They released the man after determining he was not the registered owner of the car. She continued:"We understand the level of distrust many persons have about the police, especially persons of color. The recent tragic death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of persons who were police officers emphasizes why distrust is warranted. The actions of those officers do not reflect the values and principles that DPS personnel endeavor to uphold."
