A Cincinnati man who filmed his altercation with police which resulted in his being arrested for jaywalking is now facing a new charges stemming from a photo he took of two police officers.
Charles Harrell, 29, is facing a contempt of court charge after taking a photo of two police officers in the Hamilton County Courthouse hallway and posting the photo on Facebook. The courthouse bans photography in certain parts of the building.
Harrell was in court last week for a hearing over the charges he faces from a Feb. 6 jaywalking incident that he recorded on his cellphone. The video, which was posted on Harrell's Facebook account, starts with Harrell talking to the camera about how a white police officer was following him on a bike down the block after Harrell had gotten coffee.
"You were scaring me, sir, I don't know why you're following me," Harrell says at one point.
