In a JSO employee complaint, Aiken claims that while flying his drone an officer approached him citing his drone as a problem and grabbed him by the arm.
Aiken says he was then handcuffed and at one point when Mobley attempted to hand an officer Aiken s identification he claims she was pushed away.
In the video, an officer can be heard telling Mobley to go over there as he points to the sidewalk. Aiken is heard saying, I don t need ya ll getting into trouble. Just record. I saw how they were acting, how they were so aggressive toward me, Aiken said in an interview Thursday morning. The anger and the hatred they had toward me for no reason.
