911 Call Released from ABC’s Clash with UVA Students - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather

Months after ABC agents rushed a woman at Barracks Road, mistaking sparkling water for booze, a newly released 911 call gives a better idea of the panic and chaos that ensued that night.

The tapes reveal what happened in the moments leading up to the arrest of 20-year-old Elizabeth Daly, who was charged with three felony counts - assault and battery of two law enforcement officer and eluding police. Those charges were dropped last Thursday.

Daly and two of her roommates were buying items for a sorority function when ABC agents approached them in the Harris Teeter parking lot at the Barracks Road Shopping Center.

Daly says a group of officers in plainclothes surrounded the women's car and started yelling at them. One agent even drew a gun. The women called 911 because they were not sure the officers were legitimate and drove away in a moment of panic.

Anne Downey, one of her roommates, said during the call: "So we were surrounded by like six people and they started flashing...well they were yelling at us and then we didn't know if they were real police officers or not because they weren't in uniform and then they started holding up badges but we didn't look at the badges because we were freaking out and started driving away. What should we do?

The women stopped the car after the dispatcher told them he thought the people were ABC officials and they apologized for driving away.
