Audio of Internal Affairs Interview Reveals New Details of Challenged Va. Arrest

"We don't see the vehicle cross the solid line," Sgt. Jason Chandler of Fairfax County Police Internal Affairs told Freitag.
“Well, let's play the video but we played this literally at the suppression hearing where you can see his tires touch the solid line," Freitag said.
“So they touched the solid line?" Chandler asked Freitag.
"Yeah, they touch, they literally touch it,” Freitag replied. “He's crossing over the line."
Freitag pulled Wilson over and claims he smelled marijuana and that the windows are too tinted.
Freitag told internal affairs he never actually tested the window tint to know if they were too dark. In fact, he was never trained on how to do it.

A former D.C. firefighter who spent more than 20 months in prison on gun and drug charges has been released after the arresting officer was accused of lying.
Elon Wilson is officially a free man after a Fairfax County Circuit Court judge overturned his 2019 conviction, saying evidence in the case revealed the incident was racially motivated and built on lies from former police officer
Jonathan Freitag.
Freitag reportedly pulled over Wilson in 2018, claiming he “drove over the solid line” and had “very dark-tinted windows.” Police found drugs and a gun in the car and Wilson was ultimately sentenced to three years in prison. Freitag later admitted that Wilson never went over the yellow line and the ex-cop never tested the window tint,

Ex-DC Firefighter's Conviction Overturned – NBC4 Washington

Former Fairfax County police officer Jonathan Freitag is accused of racial profiling and lying in the police report that lead to Wilson's conviction.
Judge Daniel Ortiz threw out the conviction, writing, "Freitag's false statements undermined judicial integrity in the public's eyes and left a man sitting in prison for almost two years."
Freitag resigned from Fairfax County police and is under investigation by Fairfax and the FBI for building cases on lies.
"What occurred in this case exposed a failing in our criminal justice system,” Ortiz said. “When the rules work together, they turn the gears of the judicial machinery towards justice. Instead, this officer's false representations disrupted the entire mechanism."

A Fairfax County Circuit Court judge has overturned the 2019 conviction of a Black D.C. firefighter, saying the case was built on false representations from the arresting county police officer.

Ortiz wrote Wilson had “demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that a fraud was committed upon the Court in obtaining Wilson’s guilty plea.”
Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano had filed a motion in support of Wilson’s petition to vacate judgment and release Wilson from prison.
