Black man choked, slammed by cop at Waffle House speaks out

Raw video: Anthony Wall speaks to reporters at press conference about incident at North Carolina Waffle House.

New video of a controversial arrest at a North Carolina Waffle House reportedly shows a man in a prom tuxedo and his sister engaging in a heated argument with restaurant employees before the contentious interaction with police.

The clips, obtained by the Raleigh News & Observer, appear to show Anthony Wall’s sister accusing employees of cursing at her, and both Wall and his sister cursing back at the staff, the newspaper reported. Wall, 22, had escorted his 16-year-old sister to the prom prior to the incident.

Kaia Johnson, 18, recorded the footage and posted the video to SnapChat, according to the News & Observer. She is a student at Wallace-Rose High School in Teachey and attended the prom as well.

It’s unclear what started the argument.

Another video that went viral last week showed Warsaw Police Officer Frank Moss grab Wall by the neck and choke him against the restaurant window before throwing him to the ground and arresting him.

"Your hands should have never been around my neck like that if my hands were in the air," Wall said.

Wall’s lawyers have said they were attempting to acquire police bodycam footage of the arrest, according to the News & Observer. Warsaw police and the State Bureau of Investigation were investigating.

Warsaw Mayor A.J. Connors has contended the incident wasn’t racially motivated and that Wall “started a fight” with Waffle House employees and should have been arrested, the newspaper reported.

On the other hand, Benjamin Camp, one of Wall’s lawyers, claimed that restaurant employees used gay slurs when addressing his client and that they were the ones who started the incident.

Bernie King, the daughter of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. called for a boycott of the restaurant, while the NAACP Legal Defense Fund demanded the police department to release any video of the incident.

“Family, let’s stay out of Waffle House until the corporate office legitimately and seriously commits to 1. discussion on racism, 2. employee training and 3. other plans to change; and until they start to implement changes,” King tweeted last week.

Driver overdoses behind the wheel, causes major wreck

'Total nightmare' scenario as North Carolina firefighter responding to accident finds it was his wife and two young children involved in the crash with overdosing driver.

When firefighter Dustin Reid arrived at the scene of a car crash last month, he was horrified to learn his wife and two young children were involved.

The moment was a “total nightmare,” Reid, with the High Point Fire Department, told FOX8.

A man, later identified as Kenneth Gordon, allegedly overdosed while driving a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado. He merged onto a local highway heading south, slamming into the bumper of a 2008 Jeep. The impact caused the Jeep to spin out and overturn into a ditch, authorities told the news station.

Inside the Jeep was Reid’s wife, who has not been identified, and their two young children. They were reportedly on their way to visit Reid at work.

Thankfully, however, neither Reid’s wife nor his children were injured in the crash.

Still, arriving at the scene was “any firefighter’s worst dream. To see your wife and kids and the vehicle that badly smashed,” he added.

Authorities later said Gordon, who was arrested and charged with felony child abuse in November 2017, was going at least 65 miles per hour when he crashed into the Jeep. He was not injured in the accident, FOX8 reported.

While his family left the crash unscathed, Reid's wife and children are still “shaken up," according to FOX8.

"We're very blessed, my kids they were fine, not a scratch," Reid said.

A spokesperson with the High Point Police Department was not immediately available when contacted by Fox News on Wednesday.
