Video is dark/grainy (shot at 3:30am) but it does look like someone in a tan uniform and a gun belt #ncpol

An Elizabeth City councilman says he has captured footage of what he says is a deputy urinating on his funeral home property — an act he considers retaliation for his outspoken views about Andrew Brown Jr.’s shooting death last month.

Brown, 42, was shot and killed April 21 when Pasquotank County deputies arrived at his Elizabeth City home to serve search and arrest warrants based on a yearlong drug investigation. The state Bureau of Investigation is looking into the death, and three deputies are on leave.

Councilman Gabriel Adkins, who is Black, said a uniformed deputy or deputies came to his business on North Road Street on both Friday and Saturday nights, urinating at night while in sight of his surveillance camera.

Adkins posted the Saturday night video on his Facebook page. It appears to show a white officer in a tan uniform exiting a vehicle and urinating on a shed near the carport where Adkins parks his hearses.

“Since this case with Andrew Brown, I’ve been out protesting,” Adkins told The News & Observer on Monday. “I really feel like they are retaliating back against me. Maybe they didn’t know I had surveillance, but it’s a funeral home.”
