On January 19, 2019 the Chattanooga Police Department arrested five individuals who refused to move out of the roadway that was open to vehicle traffic. The arrests were made near the intersection of Market Street and First Street. All arrested were participating in the Chattanooga Women's March and posed a danger to themselves, other pedestrians, drivers, and police who were in the area.

On January 23, 2019 at approximately 11:15 p.m., Chattanooga Police Officers responded to the 2000 block of Anderson Avenue on a report of a person shot.

"The Chattanooga Police Department is aware of a video circulating on social media relating to a traffic stop that occurred on March 3, 2018," said Chief David Roddy. "More importantly, we share in the concern it has caused in our community. Let me assure everyone that your police department and its internal affairs unit are reviewing all related materials, videos, and evidence and a formal internal investigation has started. Due to the fact that the charges incurred by the driver are bound over to the grand jury and a CPD administrative investigation is proceeding we are unable to discuss or disclose details related to the matter. However, as this progresses through these processes and we are able to release additional information, we will do so."

The CPD Officer who is the subject of the internal investigation has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
