Newly released police body camera footage provides details about what happened when WNBA star Brittney Griner suddenly left the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Maryland on February 17. The footage shows the police investigation that began after Griner reported finding a threatening handwritten note in her hotel room. The note contained the words “Gay Baby Jail.”
Griner was in town to speak at the Women Grow Leadership Summit but left the hotel immediately after finding the note, canceling her appearance. The police investigation, recorded on the officers’ body cameras, appears thorough and methodical. Two officers arrived at the hotel soon after Griner left and were shown a photo of the note by a hotel employee. The employee explained that Griner had found the note taped to a door inside her room.
