Original story:

The Monroe County Office of Public Integrity and County Board of Ethics will investigate the actions of Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley. This comes after the town of Webster released body camera footage last Friday showing Doorley being uncooperative as an officer attempted to pull her over during a traffic stop on April 22.

In a statement released Tuesday, Janson D. McNair, the director of Monroe County Office of Public Integrity, says the OPI and Ethics Board, of which he serves as chair, will begin their investigation immediately after the groups received several requests to open an investigation.

“We will report the results of our thorough investigation and subsequent recommendations to the appropriate authorities and share them with the public via a press release,” McNair said in part.

Doorley released an apology video on Monday, saying she is taking "full responsibility" for her conduct during a traffic stop last week that was caught on camera.

In the video apology, Doorley said in part: "Last Monday, I failed you and the standards that I hold myself to. And for that, I am so sorry. What I did was wrong, no excuses. I take full responsibility for my actions." The full version can be seen here.

Webster police say Doorley refused to stop when an officer activated his lights and sirens saying he detected her vehicle going 55 in a 35-mile-per-hour zone. Police say Doorley proceeded to drive all the way home before speaking with the officer.

In the video, the officer asks Doorley to cooperate, but she refuses.

"I was directly behind you," the officer said.

"I am not dealing with you right now," Doorley said.

"Can you please step over here?" the officer asked.

"I am not going to," Doorley said.

The disagreement continues during the video.

Lawmakers from across Rochester and Monroe County have since called for investigations into her behavior.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday refered the case to the Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct.

Doorley responded in a statement last Thursday that she pleaded guilty, sent the ticket to the town court and had no intention of using her position to receive a benefit.   

McNair says all Office of Public Integrity investigations and reports will also be available on the OPI's website.
