A Texas City police officer at the center of a controversial and viral Buc-ee’s traffic stop in April has been terminated following the investigation, according to the Texas City Police Department.
Texas City Police Chief Landis Cravens said the decision was made after a thorough review of the circumstances on April 19.On September 1, 2023, in my first official act as Chief of Police, I have taken the action to indefinitely suspend the employment of Scott Harrell, the officer involved in this incident. This decision was made after a thorough review of the circumstances and is in line with our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and community service.
Thank you for your continued support as we work diligently to uphold the values and principles that guide our department’s mission.The 23-minute traffic stop, captured on Officer Scott Harrell’s body camera, happened at the Texas City Buc-ee’s when Christopher Shull stopped to fill up with gas. The four-year veteran of the Texas City Police Department claimed to be parked and working on a report in the lot when it happened. He wrote Shull a ticket for disregarding a traffic control device in the private parking lot.
“He wanted me to admit whatever he said was right and I wasn’t going to do it because it didn’t happen,” Shull said in an interview only with KPRC 2. But in another surveillance video obtained by KPRC 2, the white truck appears to brake while exiting the gas pumps, then the brake lights appear to go off before completing a left turn and finally crossing paths with Shull.
Harrell continued, “The complaint’s not going to do anything because I have it all on video. Everything is recorded. I don’t talk to anyone in the public unless I have my camera on.”
