A NEW SUPREME COURT RULING IS ALLOWING CITIES TO TICKET HOMELESS PEOPLE FOR SLEEPING OUTSIDE IN PUBLIC PLACES. IT'S CAUSED QUITE A BIT OF CONTROVERSY ACROSS THE NATION. WJCL 22 NEWS' SAVANNAH YOUNGER IS JOINING US LIVE FROM CITY HALL IN DOWNTOWN SAVANNAH. AND SAVANNAH.. WHAT DID MAYOR VAN JOHNSON SAY IN RESPONSE TO THE RULING? YEAH EMMA.. WHEN I ASKED MAYOR VAN JOHNSON IF THE CITY OF SAVANNAH WOULD TICKET HOMELESS PEOPLE IN PUBLIC SPACES.. HE SAID QUOTE.. "THE CITY OF SAVANNAH DOES NOT CRIMINALIZE HOMELESSNESS." MAYOR VAN JOHNSON- CITY OF SAVANNAH "THE CITY OF SAVANNAH WILL CONTINUE TO TREAT EVERYBODY, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE HOMELESS WITH DIGNITY, COURTESY AND RESPECT." THE SUPREME COURT RULED ON THIS DECISION BECAUSE WESTERN CITIES WANTED MORE POWER TO GET RID OF OUTDOOR ENCAMPMENTS IN PUBLIC SPACES. I TALKED TO THE DIRECTOR OF CHATHAM- SAVANNAH AUTHORITY FOR THE HOMELESS.. WHO SAYS ONE OF THE MANY WAYS TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE IN CHATHAM- SAVANNAH.. IS BY BUILDING MORE SHELTERS. JENNIFER DULONG- CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CHATHAM SAVANNAH AUTHORITY FOR THE HOMELESS "WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SHELTER BED SPACES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION IN NEED OF ADDICTION RECOVERY, OR WHO CAN GO INTO WHAT'S CALLED A WET SHELTER BED SPACE IN ACTIVE ADDICTION." DULONG ALSO TELLS ME.. THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE SHELTERS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PETS.. OR THOSE BRINGING PERSONAL BELONGINGS WITH THEM. RIGHT NOW.. CHATHAM- SAVANNAH AUTHORITY FOR THE HOMELESS AND OTHER HOMELESS SERVICES ARE WORKING ON A 5- YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN TO FIND WAYS TO COMBAT HOMELESSNESS. EMMA.. BACK TO YOU. THANKS SAVANNAH. NOW TO THE NEW POLICE REPORT ... GIVING US A BETTER IDEA ... OF WHAT LED TO THE ARREST OF A CHATHAM COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE SHOWS HOW A CITATION ESCALATED INTO AN ARREST... DURING A TRAFFIC STOP IN RINCON. <NATURAL SOUND> "ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS SIGN THE CITATION..." "I'M NOT SIGNING THAT." "IF YOU DON'T SIGN THAT YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL." RINCON POLICE SAY THAT SERGEANT CARLOS PETIOTE FAILED TO MOVE OVER WHEN PASSING BY THEIR OFFICERS DURING A TRAFFIC STOP. THAT'S A VIOLATION OF GEORGIA'S MOVE OVER LAW. RINCON P-D PULLED OVER THE DEPUTY WHO REFUSED TO SIGN HIS CITATION. THAT'S WHEN THINGS ESCALATED. <NATURAL SOUND> "GET YOUR HAND OFF YOUR WEAPON, GET YOUR HAND OFF YOUR GUN!" RINCON P-D ARRESTED HIM ON MULTIPLE CHARGES INCLUDING OBSTRUCTION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. PETIOTE WAS BOOKED LATER THAT NIGHT IN FULL UNIFORM AND HANDCUFFS. THE CHATHAM COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS NOT COMMENTING ON THE MATTER, BUT RINCON'S P-D IS STANDING BY THEIR OFFICER'S DECISIONS. THIS MORNING ... A MAN IS DEAD ... AFTER BEING HIT BY A CITY OF SAVANNAH DUMP TRUCK. IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY... IN A PARKING LOT ON WHITE BLUFF ROAD BY THE LIVE OAK PLAZA AND CHICK- FIL-A. ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS WITH GEORGIA STATE PATROL... THE SAVANNAH DUMP TRUCK STRUCK AND RAN OVER THE MAN WHILE HE SAT ON A BUCKET IN THE PARKING LOT. A CITY SPOKESPERSON TOLD US THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK IS ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE. CHATHAM COUNTY POLICE CHIEF JEFF HADLEY SAYS HE HAS WITHDRAWN HIS APPLICATION FOR THE CHIEF'S POSITION IN BEAUMONT TEXAS. THIS COMES LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER HE ANNOUNCED HE WAS IN THE RUNNING AS A FINALIST. THE CHIEF SAYS BEING CONSIDERED AS A FINALIST IS AN HONOR... BUT THAT THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT HE RECEIVED FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY FOLLOWING HIS ANNOUNCEMENT .. RE-AFFIRMED HIS DECISION TO STAY. HE ADDS THAT "CHATHAM COUNTY IS A UNIQUE AND SPECIAL PLACE...HIS WORK HERE IS REWARDING...AND "THERE'S SIMPLY NO REASON TO STEP AWAY." RIGHT NOW GEORGIA IS LOSING ITS FARMLAND.
