The Atlanta Police Department has vowed to do a better job monitoring complaints against officers working curbside at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after a Channel 2 Action News investigation revealed a pattern of complaints.
Jodie Fleischer began investigating complaints against curbside officers after getting calls and emails from Channel 2 Action News Viewers. To send a tip, email jodie@wsbtv.com
Paul Sparlin told investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer he was picking up his cousin when he says an officer yelled as the man was approaching Sparlin's truck.
"I mean, he was out of control. I've never seen anything like that," Sparlin said.
"He stepped off the curb and a cop did not like that, not one bit," recounted Sparlin, "He said, ‘Get back on the curb,’ in a tone that is suitable for scolding a dog."
Sparlin says the officer then reached into his truck through an open window.
