NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) –

A woman who was pulled over by police last year was allowed to drive away on a revoked license, after the officer’s supervisor received a personal phone call from Judge Casey Moreland, the Channel 4 I-Team has verified through police records.

Police dispatch records show Natalie Amos was stopped by a motorcycle officer on June 16, 2016. Officer Michael Douglas had just left roll call at Central Precinct in downtown Nashville when he said he spotted a driver nearby who wasn’t wearing a seat belt and who was driving on expired tags.

Douglas stopped the woman and had dispatchers run her drivers license history. Her license was revoked.

Metro police have verified that while Amos was stopped, Officer Douglas’ supervisor, Sgt. Mark Byrne, was contacted by Judge Moreland. Moreland told the supervisor that Amos “was on the way to his office for a meeting,” according to a statement from Metro police spokesman Don Aaron. Aaron said the supervisor perceived that “Judge Moreland wanted the motorist to be allowed to continue to his office.”

Amos provided a series of text messages to the I-Team that she said she exchanged with Moreland during and after the stop.

Moreland texted her to “find out” the officers name during the stop and then texted, “if I need to talk to him, I will.” Moreland asked in the text, “What’s happening? Did you drop my name?”

The woman said she was allowed to travel on with an invalid drivers license because of the Judge’s phone call to the police station. She said she met up with the judge at a bar then to the Courthouse where they had sex in the Judge’s office.  FULL STORY-VIDEO HERE
