Chris LeDay shared the first video of the police killing Alton Sterling on social media, though he did not record it himself—and a few hours of this, he got arrested.
According to Chris, while on his way to work at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, he was detained by both military and civilian police officers—saying, he fits the profile of a man wanted for battery.
Chris mentioned to Photography Is Not a Crime that he was arrested on the spot because of unpaid traffic tickets which came up after the initial profile fitting stop. And he spent the night in jail—only released after he paid $1,231 in fines.
