Atlanta Police won't arrest people not signing traffic citations
Sophia Dalton It comes at the discretion of Mayor Andre Dickens, who directed APD to conduct an in-depth review of the department's training curriculum and operating guidelines after Hollman died on Aug. 10.
APD described the incident as "several minutes of struggling" between the deacon and the arresting officer, which included the deployment of the officer's Taser, although it's unclear if Hollman was struck by the Taser. Not long after, Hollman became unresponsive.
After the comprehensive evaluation, Atlanta Police said in a statement they will no longer arrest those who opt not to sign a traffic citation -- allowing officers to write "refusal to sign" in the signature line. Atlanta Police also announced what their officers are now instructed to do if a similar situation presents itself.
Atlanta Police said they will share the full results of the investigation into Hollman's death at the conclusion of their own investigation and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's analysis.
