Dec. 3 (UPI) -- The police chief of Tampa, Fla., has been placed on administrative leave after flashing her badge at a deputy who had stopped her while she and her husband were riding golf cart.
Police Chief Mary O'Connor and her husband were stopped last month after allegedly riding in a golf cart that did not have a license plate. Body camera footage released Thursday showed O'Connor flashing her badge to a Pinellas County sheriff's deputy and asking to "just let us go."
The deputy then lets them leave without issuing a citation.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said in a tweet Friday that O'Connor "has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into a recent traffic stop."
