In that letter, the union calls Bennett’s statements “false and defamatory.” It also states that officers, looking for an active shooter, observed Michael Bennett hiding behind a slot machine, and that “he bolted out of the casino, leaped over a four (4) foot barrier wall, and hid from officers as he crouched close to the wall on the sidewalk.”
