Then, the woman heard in the video begins saying somebody is recording, and the officer stands up and moves towards the camera. The person behind the camera runs away towards a house, with the camera’s view bouncing on a lawn for several seconds before the video ends. All of the officers involved told investigators the deputy took the bags seen in the video from Griffon’s pocket before the video started.

“Even the suspect said he had possession of those pills,” Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto said. While initial testing on the bags came back negative for narcotics, however, further testing discovered the bags were positive for meth.
