Georgia Police Officer Pulls Over Chief Deputy For Speeding

* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
McDonough, Georgia — On June 20, 2023, While on patrol, a Henry County police officer pulled over a Dodge Charger that his laser clocked going 96 mph in a 35-mph zone. When the officer approached the Charger, he recognized the person behind the wheel as Henry County Sheriff Chief Deputy Michael Yarbrough. "Really?" the police officer who pulled the chief over for speeding immediately asked. Shortly after receiving Yarbrough's license, the officer returns to the cruiser and makes a phone call to another person for guidance. “Guess who I just pulled over?” the officer is heard saying. “Who?” the person replied. “Yarbrough.”

The officer asked if he should write him a ticket. “It’s your traffic stop, do what you think you should do. I’m not telling you one way or another,” the person said. “I don’t care for him, so I’m going to write his [explicit].” The officer later walks up to Chief Deputy Yarbrough and hands him a citation. "If you would sign right here," the officer tells Yarbrough, "Please slow down, have a safe day." Georgia does have a super speeder law. Under it, super speeders are ticketed for traveling 75 mph or faster on a two-lane road or 85 mph or faster on highways. It adds a $200 fine to a ticket. The citation only states a “warning” and does not have a $200 fine on it. It does state that Yarbrough must appear in court.

In a statement, Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett said, "Chief Deputy (Yarbrough) reported to me immediately after the traffic stop occurred that he was issued a citation for speeding. Any questions related to the citation itself should be directed to the Henry County Police Department. After reviewing the facts of the incident, I suspended the Chief Deputy for 40 hours without pay for the severity of the traffic citation." A spokesperson says Yarbrough was on duty at the time but did not turn on his lights or sirens.

I love that the chief deputy didn’t have a power trip or anything he just complied and went on his way

[ChaseFace]

Gotta give him credit for just taking the ticket like an adult. None of the usual “ARE YOU SERIOUS” business.

[afternaphair]

Went pretty well. No screaming. No threatening.

[denu]

96mph in a 35mph zone, the officer did the right thing. That is exceptionally bad for a Chief Deputy.

[robertcoleman]

Kudos to the Deputy Chief for not playing the "Do you know who I am?" game. He accepted the ticket and appeared to be very courteous and contrite to the officer.

[ymac]

Great that the chief stayed calm and accepted the citation. I just hope that he won't hold a grudge against the officer for it

[thelollo]

The chief deputy saying yes sir is another level of respect to the fellow sheriff

[JuanMartinez-dflc]

He owned up to his mistake and didn’t try to weasel his way out of it . Respect to him

[rogerbramble]

Congratulations to the officers for doing his job. Secondly, I appreciate the chief deputy for being an adult and for being well-mannered. Nothing other than yes, sir .

[NigitTheUndying]

Damn, being held accountable, and taking accountability. That's literally what it's all about.

[thomasclark]

Love the "Really?" as how he starts the conversation.

[moreclips]

This is what the public wants to see- accountability for all, not just us private citizens.

[robertoautore]

The chief deputy signed and accepted the ticket he knows he was in the wrong going fast and broke the law.

[RadiactiveBen]

Credit to the Chief Deputy for just signing the citation and saving his defence for the courtroom.

[Theglizzygobbler]

Mad respect to the officer for keeping the chief accountable for his actions

[Killerky]

Honestly props to both of them, he accepted his punishment and made no complaints and the officer held him accountable.

[sweezy]

I actually applaud the Chief Deputy for just accepting the ticket and going about his day. Most would have easily tried to abuse their power and try to weasel out of it.

[iancurnow]

Totally impressed with the Chief Deputy, quietly accepting what was happening. Well done

[lqkpckx]

I'm from Bulgaria and I'm really sorry that we didn't have people like that chief deputy in our government and police officers like yours.
