Testimony continues today in a trial involving a Salisbury woman who was arrested in November 2009 after she refused a police officer’s order to stop videotaping a traffic stop and go inside her house.

Felicia Laverne Gibson, 29, was arrested by Salisbury Police Officer Mark Hunter after he pulled over a driver involved in a chase. Gibson sat on her front porch and recorded the arrest on video.

Gibson and others were asked to clear the street. The officer testified Wednesday and today that he repeatedly told the woman to go inside her home. She did not, and he arrested her.

Gibson is being represented by Charlotte attorney Jacob Sussman. The trial is expected to continue through today.
