Allegations:
As Pitts was driving, officers fired shots at his car. He kept driving to avoid getting hurt. Officers Weatherley, Whigham and Winfrey chased Pitts until he stopped and got out of the car, then one or more of the officers fired more shots at him. The car was seized and held as evidence as police tried to build a criminal case against Pitts. Police also obtained a video recording of the events. The car was later sold for scrap metal. The officers fabricated a story to back up their use of force, but did not explain why they initially began shooting at Pitts' car. Pitts was unable to post bond, and pleaded guilty in exchange for being released after spending 61 days in jail.
