A man says he was just complaining about noise and flashing lights next door when he says he was thrown to the ground and hand cuffed.
The man's neighbor happens to be a Garrard County Constable. Now two Constables are off the job, because the whole encounter was caught on tape.
Nicholas McCoy says for the last 3 1/2 months he's dealt with lights and sirens when he goes to bed.
So, he called police on his neighbor, Mike Mullins, a Constable in Garrard County, but says he didn't get the help he expected. Soon after he made the call, McCoy says Mullins and another constable, Brad Smith, came over and confronted him.
McCoy called 911 again, and the incident was all caught on the phone. The men have not been removed from office since they are elected officials, but they are unable to exercise their powers as constables.
That means they cannot use their blue lights, their badges had to be turned in, and they cannot use radio frequency from the police dispatch center.
Nicholas McCoy tells us he is planning on getting an attorney and plans to file a lawsuit.

ok i've just finished listening to the whole tape and this has made me ill to my stomach. i hope you realize the laughing in the background will echo in my mind a very long time. Candi is it ? that's absolutely insane to be laughing while a man thats calling for help is being harrassed by one of your very own. you also told Mullins that you were still on the phone with Mr Mccoy when that wasn't true. Mullins had already took the Phone from Mccoy and hung it up you knew he wasnt there he never answered you when you were saying Hello sir are you there? i hope that the next person that calls in for help gets it, really. thats scary. would you be so quick to Laugh if in turn it was you on the other end of the phone or someone that matters to you ? i think not. you ran his Lp for mullins and treated him like he was the "subject" as you yourself put it. and for the record Mullins never arrested Mccoy in the past so that Motive you had for Mccoys complaint wasnt true either Justice my ...!
