"On behalf of the police department, I would like to apologize to Mr. Myers for how he was treated. What should have been a very short encounter was extended when the officer involved insisted on getting Mr. Myers’ identification. The officer had no legal right to demand the identification and should have simply advised Mr. Myers why we were there and allowed him to go on his way," police said in a statement.

According to police, the officer is a new, probationary officer and made a mistake. Police also said he will be provided with remedial training to address the issue.

Police also added that the responding supervisor didn't handle the situation the way the chief expects supervisors to handle themselves, and said he was disciplined, and every supervisor has receive additional training.

"This is an unfortunate incident where the ROPD did not live up to our own standards. Corrective action has been taken and we will continue to hold all members of the ROPD to the highest standards," the statement read.
