Action News Jax first told you in June that the May 28 incident between Horne and Music was under investigation by the GBI.
Chief Tommy Cox said Friday that Horne has resigned from the Waycross Police Department.
That day, Horne was supposed to be meeting the mother of his child to go to an appointment. Music, the baby’s grandmother, arrived before the baby’s mother.
GBI was requested to investigate the confrontation, which was caught on two videos, by WPD. Horne was not on duty at the time of the fight, GBI said.

In the first video shot by Horne, you can hear the detective tell Music, “Respectfully, I’d rather you not go in there.”
Music replies that she goes to all the child’s appointments.
Music can be seen walking in the video towards Horne’s truck and open the door. Horne calls the police. Words are exchanged, Music screams at Horne to not put his hands on her, then she slaps the phone out of his hands.
