The white former York County elected official who called police on five black women for taking too long to golf described the scene to an emergency dispatcher as a "tough situation" with a group of golfers who did not want to abide by the rules.

In an audio taped obtained by The York Daily Record, Steve Chronister, a former York County president commissioner, can twice be heard saying that the only weapon involved was one of the women's mouth.

"Other than her mouth, there's not any weapons," Chronister told the dispatcher regarding the April 21 scene, which put the Grandview Golf Club at the center of the race relations dialogue.

"We have a tough situation here with a group of golfers that decides they don't want to abide by the rules," said Chronister, who made the call shortly before 11:30 a.m. The call lasted nearly three minutes.

In the audio tape, Chronister identifies himself as manager of the golf course and requests a police officer be dispatched to the golf course to tend to a situation involving five women he said were refusing to obey club rules.

Chronister identifies one of the women, Sandra Thompson, adding that he knows her.

"She ran for judge. She's an attorney. She knows it all," Chronister told the dispatcher. "She totally thinks we're being racist. We're not being racist. We're being golf course management that has to have play moving a certain way."

The confrontation that morning became national news after Thompson, a York County civil rights attorney, caught the incident on a cell phone video that went on to become viral.

Thompson and four friends - all black women - were enjoying their first day of golfing at the club when twice the owners of the club, who are white, called police on them for playing too slowly - once when they were on the second hole and again after they completed the first nine holes.

The owners had asked the women to leave while rescinding their membership and offering to refund the payment.

The York Daily Record on Wednesday first reported a story about the audio tape after obtaining a copy of it through a Right-to-Know request with the county.

Chronister is heard negotiating a series of quick questions from the dispatcher as to whether weapons were involved in the situation at hand:

"No weapons or anything like that, right?" the dispatcher asked.

"It's even worse than that, but anyway I can't ..." Chronister said.

"OK, sir, there's no weapons, right?" the dispatcher again asked.

"No," Chronister said repeatedly. "Other than her mouth, there's not any weapons."

Thompson and the women claimed club owners had discriminated against them.

In the exchange with the dispatcher, Chronister is heard relating Thompson's statements to him: "We're gonna tell everybody we know. We're five black women, and this is how it's gonna be," he said.

He added: "She ran for judge. She's an attorney. She knows it all," Chronister told the dispatcher. "She totally thinks we're being racist. We're not being racist. We're being golf course management that has to have play moving a certain way."

At one point the dispatcher grasps for clarification of the situation: "And they're just literally standing at the hole?" the dispatcher asked.

Police arrived some time later but were told by club management that they weren't needed. A few hours later, Chronister again called 911 asking that the police be sent back out to the club.

"I want her off the golf course," Chronister said, adding moments later that officers are "going to have to get out here quickly."

In the wake of the viral video, Thompson, the president of the York County NAACP, and some of the other women involved appeared on CNN and other national media outlets.

The incident has attracted the attention of celebrities, including musician John Legend, who Tweeted about the incident.

A short time after the incident, Chronister's daughter-in-law, JJ Chronister, called the women personally to apologize. The latter is wife of Jordan Chronister, son of the former commissioner. Both are co-owners of the club, which is located in Dover.

Thompson in May told PennLive that the incident had caused her considerable anxiety and stress.

Officials from Grandview Golf Course have consistently declined media requests for interviews.

The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission will convene an investigatory hearing on the incident.

Chad Dion Lassiter, executive director of the commission, said the hearing will concern "the ongoing issues of racial tension" related to the incident.

The hearing will be held in York County, with the date and time to be determined.
