Mr. Johnson,

Thank you for submitting your FOIA payment. I have attached a file that contains the police reports you requested.

For the patrol car camera footage you asked for, are you able to provide a valid personal email address that we can send you a link to download the video? Our in-car camera footage is retained through Evidence.com and we can share the footage, but we need an email address. I see in your original request an email address of requests@muckrock.com but I am not sure if that will work.

If possible, could you please respond to my work email at Lspitler@cityofhowell.org instead of the contacthowell@cityofhowell.org.

Thank you,
Lindsay Spitler
Administrative Assistant
