LAKE WALES (Bay News 9) -- The Lake Wales Police Department has provided new video of a confrontation that arose between an angry crowd and officers following a traffic stop Saturday.

The video shows the kind of chaos officers were dealing with. But it all happens so fast it's difficult to tell what's taking place.

The Lake Wales Police Department says it continues to investigate Saturday's traffic stop and crowd confrontation. The Lake Wales NAACP says it has reviewed police video tapes of the incident and has some concerns.

It will hold a community meeting on the issue Sunday evening.
