Chattanooga Police Officer Gregory ChambersA Chattanooga Police Department officer has been placed on leave pending the outcome of an investigation in which he reportedly pulled a Taser on an Ooltewah man following a road rage incident on Brainerd Road.
Officer Gregory Chambers, 37, who was off duty at the time, had an argument with Christopher Smith after a driving incident, according to a police report.
“He will be on administrative leave initially until we complete our internal investigation,” said Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd. “After that he will be placed on personal leave pending the outcome of his court appearance.”
Chambers and Smith exchanged words before leaving the scene Saturday, according to a police report.
Smith told deputies that Chambers phoned his home and spoke to Smith’s son asking about the vehicle. Smith called the number back, and it was Chambers who answered, according to the report.
