A brief description of video footage from the body cam worn by the officer who responded to the 911 call about Ty Ross being on the ground after wrecking his bicycle:
The officer approaches Ross and asks if he lives here. Ross replies that “unfortunately” he does. The next part of the dialogue is redacted. The officer asks Ross if he has been drinking, but Ross does not respond to the question, except to say, “It’s the real deal.” The officer appears to talk into his radio, and says, “I’ll call you.” People at the scene say Ross was “laying in the grass” when they found him. The officer makes a phone call and asks to “talk to sarge.” The conversation is heavily redacted, the officer tells the person on the phone “drunk riding a bicycle down the road, flailing around,” and later, “I didn’t know if you wanted to know because of who he was.” The officer ends the phone call and offers Ross a ride home. Ross, who was sitting on the grass up until this point, gets unsteadily to his feet. The officer tells him he is going to help him walk to the cruiser: “I’m going to hold on to you so you don’t fall.” The officer ties Ross’s bicycle to the cruiser and drives Ross home. He tells Ross that, if he ever needs a ride, to “call us anytime.”
