HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Every story has two sides; but the former UAH Police Chief, Michael Snellgrove, said he wasn’t allowed to go public with the police department’s side of a story after a traffic stop involving one of his officers and an honor roll student from Hazel Green High School.
In October, a 17-year-old was pulled over by UAH police for what his mother called a cracked but functioning taillight. His mother said the officer verbally abused her son and made him feel threatened for his life.
