Chris LeDay wasn’t the one who filmed the Alton Sterling shoot, but he
was one who made the video go viral. He was one of the first people to
post it on social media. He spread it on his IG page, Twitter and
Facebook pages and it was from his page other media houses took the
video and spread it.
He was allegedly arrested by Police officers after the video went vial.
According to
LeDay’s Facebook post, he was going to his job as a technician at
Dobbins Air Reserve Base when he was suddenly detained by both military
and civilian police officers.

According to
LeDay, the officers had reason to believe he ‘fit the description’ of
someone wanted for battery. He was reportedly cuffed and shackled, but
at the police station he was informed that he’d been arrested due to
unpaid traffic tickets. He spent the night in jail and was released
after paying $1,231 in fines. LeDay admitted to not paying the tickets
because he couldn’t afford them but his license was suspended.

LeDay feels he was arrested by the police as payback, for him posting the video.
