Man who filmed cops in lobby of Ohio hotel on night of Kareem Hunt incident was arrested - but the former Chiefs running back was NOT

A man who reportedly filmed Ohio police in the lobby of a hotel on the night of the Kareem Hunt incident was arrested, but the star running back wasn't.

Derek Szeto was staying at The Metropolitan at the 9 in February 2018 when he was arrested by Cleveland police.

He was subsequently charged with disorderly conduct for recording the officers in the hotel's lobby.

On the same night, surveillance video captured the moment the former Kansas City Chiefs running back attacked then-19-year-old Abigail Ottinger from Berea, Ohio.

According to USA Today, Szeto had allowed the victim to use his phone to call 911 after an employee at the front desk told her she couldn't use the phone there.

Szeto tweeted about his arrest three hours after he was taken into custody.

'Don't ever stay at @The9CLE! They apparently don't care about women abuse that takes place in their hotel. I tried to help and got arrested,' he tweeted at the time.

Throwing a career away in one moment of rage is unbelievable.

Filming the heroes who protect us everyday is also not very smart.
Obey them.

1055 guess you missed the whole point of the story. But I don't know why this story was posted here. People should always blindly follow what the government and its forces of security tell them to do.

Until those “heroes” are looking out for themselves instead of you.
