‘I’m going to write his ass’

A Georgia county chief deputy was suspended last month after one of his underlings caught him racing a department car 60 miles per hour over the speed limit, according to a report.

The unidentified Henry County officer immediately recognized his boss as the man behind the wheel of a sedan he clocked going 96 mph in a 35 mph zone.

“Guess who I just pulled over,” the officer said to a coworker on phone, according to bodycam footage obtained by CNN.

“The chief deputy, driving a f—king Dodge Charger. A souped-up Dodge Charger belonging to the sheriff’s office. I just clocked this son b–ch at 96 in a 35.”

The officer expressed some hesitation over handing a speeding ticket over to Chief Deputy Michael Yarbrough and asked his unidentified colleague how he should approach the situation.

After being told it is his stop and his decision, the officer quickly decides to write his boss a ticket.

“Well — you know I don’t care for him. So, I’m going to write his ass,” he can be heard saying.

The officer then saunters up to the Dodge Charger and simply asks Yarbrough, “Really?”

The chief Deputy looks forward with dismay as his passenger — another man in uniform — leans over and smiles.

The officer then hands his boss a citation, which requires Yarbrough to appear in court.

“Please slow down, have a safe day,” the officer said before letting them drive off.

Yarbrough, a 33-year law enforcement veteran, has headed the county department since 2021 — the same year Henry County sheriffs welcomed Shaquille O’Neil as its director of community relations.

In a statement, Henry County Sheriff Reginald Scandrett told CNN that Yarbrough had been on duty at the time, but had not been driving with his lights or sirens on.

“Chief Deputy (Yarbrough) reported to me immediately after the traffic stop occurred that he was issued a citation for speeding,” Scandrett said.

“After reviewing the facts of the incident, I suspended the Chief Deputy for forty hours without pay for the severity of the traffic citation.”

Henry County police did not issue any statement regarding the traffic stop.

Neither the department, Yarbrough nor Shaq immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.
