CONWAY – A judge Tuesday afternoon gently rebuffed an attempt by Bartlett Police to compel a Conway man to turn over video he shot of his own arrest which involved being Tased and pepper sprayed. Instead, the judge suggested police could file for a search warrant.
According to police, Cpl. Justin Washburn stopped Chris Spinney, 35, of Conway on June 6 for having an outdated inspection sticker on the windshield of the Ford Taurus he was driving on Route 16 near Story Land.
