New Footage from Chico Police Arrest of College Students Surfaces: Second Phone Containing Footage Still Missing

It’s been four days since Chico police arrested a pair of women in Northern California in a video that has gone viral and the story has been reported by at least four local media sites. However, with the exception of one news site, The Orion, none of those sites have mentioned the fact another phone that recorded the incident has gone missing. That phone belongs to Maddie Hemphill and not only contains footage of Chico police officer Steve Dyke arresting her friend Nicole Braham, but it also contains footage from moments earlier when Hemphill was recording the officer making a DUI stop about a block from their home. It is that stop that led to Dyke following them home after his DUI stop. Dyke claims he followed them home because the car driven by Braham had a burned-out license plate light. But both women believe the stop was in retaliation from having the gall to record him in public. The truth probably lies in Hemphill’s missing phone, but that went missing after Dyke ordered her arrested seconds after she informed him she was recording him.
