MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – New video from the night Bucks rookie Sterling Brown was tased and arrested could be released soon.

After the video's release was foreshadowed by Assistant Police Chief Brunson and Mayor Tom Barrett, Governor Scott Walker said he was briefed by city officials and the Bucks about what's on the recording. 

“Obviously we want to make sure that public safety is paramount for everyone in the city of Milwaukee, as it should be for anybody in the state of Wisconsin. I think that’s one of the values of having a video cam, making sure that both for the public’s individual protection as well as that for law enforcement who are abiding by the rules and regulations, I think the public deserves to see things like that,” said Walker.

The arrest happened in a Walgreens parking lot back in January. Brown was never charged. Police have been mum on what’s in the unreleased video.

The governor did not say when the video will be released. The officers involved in the arrest are under investigation.
