TUCSON, Ariz. -- A man's Facebook post about a traffic stop in October 2015 is going viral.
Steven Hildreth Jr. says he was pulled over by the Tucson Police Department for a broken headlight. When the officer asked if he had any weapons, he told him he is a concealed carry permit holder and had a gun on his right hip.
Because his wallet was in his back-right pocket, the officer needed to disarm him to check his ID. Hildreth wrote about his experience with the officer and posted it to his Facebook page.
Hildreth's Facebook post has been shared more than 135,000 times. It's getting new attention in July after Philando Castile was shot and killed by a police officer in Minnesota, during a traffic stop:
In October, Hildreth Jr. met with Tucson police officers Rafael Rodriguez and Anthony Ammon and thanked them for their professionalism. The three acknowledged the current criticisms surrounding police work around the nation.
