university and says the actions of this year is the reason why they have suspended that officer for two weeks without pay. he goes on to say that pepper spray never should have been used in the first place. we'll get to video here. this incident here happened back in may. it was may 21st. officers got a call for a fight happening inside an apartment at the courtyard complex. a nearly seven-week investigation shows that it was a false report. there was never a fight happening inside the unit. cell phone video captured moments of what happened next. police knocked on the door. they asked the partygoers to leave. some people started leaving and others stayed while officers continued to ask the crowd to disperse. an ambulance came after the officer deployed the pepper spray on the partygoers who were not leaving. in the parking lot here, that's when those people who had pepper spray in their eyes were being tre.

the officer approaches that crowd, tells people who aren't getting treated to back away and then when they don't, that's when pepper spray is deployed for the second time. we had an opportunity to speak with the chief earlier today and she told us how they plan on moving forward. >> clearly, we need to revisit this and we will revisit the use of pepper spray and our policy. alexander williams will be part of that review and my students will be part of that review. so you can argue that i thought it was going to get worse. the bottom line is it never should have gotten to this point. >> now, that night, two people were arrested. the state's attorney says they have dropped the charges and it's possible that more disciplinary action may come from other officers involved in this incident. coming up at 6:00, you'llar
