No one bothers to question him until he is brought before Police Chief Bill Gillespie, where they embarrassingly discover that Tibbs is a Philadelphia homicide detective. After calling his boss on, and for reasons that are never fully explained, Tibbs works alongside the same people who framed him in the murder he is accused of!
