Bryce Sasser sat down with Action News Jax in July for an exclusive interview.
“I’m going to be the best police officer I know to be,” Bryce Sasser said.
In May, police responded when Cory Sasser's estranged wife said he tried to break into her home, but the former Glynn County officer was not arrested.
Cory Sasser saw Katie Kettles Sasser with her boyfriend, John Hall Jr.
“From the day that this started months ago, I witnessed first-hand my dad make every effort,” Bryce Sasser said.
New documents show that, the next month, Cory Sasser attended a divorce hearing which he didn't think went well.
Later, he ran into the couple at a restaurant, and police said he made a "hand gesture" to them.
