More information has surfaced involving a video posted to social media that appears to show a man picking up drugs then leaving a downtown residence and getting into a city police cruiser.

The police vehicle then drives away.

U Need A Cab owner John Strang says the person was originally in one of their cabs and didn’t have enough money to pay the fare, and by rule they call police.

He says the officer took the passenger in the cruiser so they could get what was remaining in the fare.

“The gentleman that appeared in the video pleaded his case to the police. And said I’ve got the money but it’s at another address and I’ve got to get there,” Strang says.

He says the officer then took the person in the video away so they could pay what was owing.

Strang says the man in the video wasn’t charged.

“The police officer was just trying to do a good deed, help out our company and not charge this guy. She went above and beyond the call of duty,” he says.
