Apparently they used a "virtual coin toss", but it was a program meant to give a 50/50 outcome. Not just a ticket, but whether or not they'd handcuff the suspect and take her to the station for booking.

It was all caught on bodycam video, which the arrestee had to get help from a news station to obtain. However, nothing seemed to happen until this request was made.

The following is a personal message from Chief Rusty Grant:
On April 7, 2018, Roswell Police Officers Courtney Brown and Kristee Wilson made an arrest subsequent to a traffic stop. Brown apparently based her decision to arrest the violator on a coin toss app that was on her cell phone. After I became aware that this incident occurred, I immediately initiated an internal investigation into the matter. I then placed both officers on administrative leave. Since this is an open internal investigation, I cannot discuss the details of the incident until the conclusion of the investigation. This behavior is not indicative of the hardworking officers of the Roswell Police Department. I have much higher expectations of our police officers and I am appalled that any law enforcement officer would trivialize the decision-making process of something as important as the arrest of a person.
