“Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you’re innocent. Some officers are on a power trip and will use their power to exploit people and take advantage of them to push their own personal agenda,” Omony wrote on Feb. 23.

“I was a victim of police harassment and set up. This officer hated me so much for no reason. His anger towards me was sad to witness. I feel sorry for his next target.”

Chief Roger Chaffin took to Facebook on Mar. 3 to defend the police officer.

“I have had the opportunity to view In Car Digital Video of the incident in its entirety. These allegations are categorically untrue,” he wrote.

At the time, Chaffin said numerous attempts were made to contact Omony, including via phone, email, social media and registered mail, but the service didn’t receive a response.

However, on Wednesday Omony wrote that she met with the CPS Professional Standards Section and had “an insightful conversation.”

“I was able to see another view. I also learned more about the rights of citizens and police.”
