According to the body camera footage, an officer put his hands on McClain, saying, "Stop tensing up." McClain replied, "Let go of me" and told the police that he was "just going home." But McClain, who was apparently listening to music at the time, continued to walk.
Police body camera footage showed McClain walking on the sidewalk when three officers approached him, with one telling him multiple times to stop. Interim Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson issued a statement on Monday saying she had pulled multiple officers from street duty and made the probe into the photo a "top priority." Jones was one of the employees involved and depicted in the photograph investigation related to #ElijahMcClain," Aurora police officials said in a statement posted Thursday on Twitter. "In response to inquiries by the press, Jaron Jones, hired October 31, 2016, tendered his resignation. Officer Jaron Jones of the Aurora Police Department submitted his resignation amid local, state and federal investigations launched when images of him and other officers posing near a memorial for McClain surfaced last week. A Colorado police officer resigned ahead of his chief's imminent announcement of her disciplinary decision over troubling photos allegedly linked to him and his colleagues that were taken near the scene of where Elijah McClain was placed in a police chokehold and later died.
