Pasquotank County Dist. Atty. Andrew Womble told the judge that he viewed the body camera video and disagreed with a characterization by attorneys for Brown’s family that his car was stationary when the shooting started. Womble said the video shows that Brown’s car made contact with law enforcement twice before shots could be heard on the video.
Calling the family attorney’s description “patently false,” Womble said the video shows that Brown’s car made contact with officers twice before shots could be heard on the video.
“As it backs up, it does make contact with law enforcement officers,” he said, adding that the automobile stops again. “The next movement of the car is forward. It is in the direction of law enforcement and makes contact with law enforcement. It is then and only then that you hear shots.”
Womble said that officers shouted commands and tried to open the car before any shots were fired.
