Correction: Woman not ordered to stop videotaping

Felicia Laverne Gibson was found guilty Friday in Rowan County District Court of resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer in performance of his duties, according to Judge Beth Dixon.

Gibson did not follow Police Officer Mark Hunter’s initial orders to go into her home while an arrest was being made in the street nearby, according to court testimony.

Gibson was videotaping the arrest, but there was no mention in testimony of Hunter ordering her to stop, Dixon says.

An article in Saturday’s Post was incorrect in saying Gibson refused the officer’s order to quit videotaping the traffic stop.

The story said Gibson was found guilty of “resisting arrest,” a shortened term for the charge against her.
