Standoff leads to fight between Lexington police and Cleveland County deputies, while searching for cop charged with rape.
Sheriff Amason was going 85 miles per hour in a 55-mile-per-hour zone in an unmarked car without lights or sirens turned on.
“I’m going to a SWAT call,” Sheriff Amason can be heard saying in body camera video obtained from Lexington police.
In another body camera video, Lexington Chief Johnson arrived at the SWAT incident Sheriff Amason was responding to and a tense scene ensued.
“What is going on here?” Chief Johnson can be heard asking Cleveland County Sheriff’s deputy. “Did you realize I’d like to know what’s going on in my own damn city?”
“We would have notified you sir,” the deputy responded.
“We WOULD have?” the Chief responded. “I’ve been down there at the PD all f**king day.”
