Odessa Police Chief Tim Burton found insufficient evidence to launch an investigation into the February 1 traffic stop of District 1 Council member Malcolm Hamilton. The ticket was dismissed as the cited offense did not justify prosecution. Hamilton defended his actions, calling the stop illegal, while CBS reported he believed harassment and profiling occurred.
