Prosecutors clear Florida deputy in arrest of a Black man punched and dragged from his car
Prosecutors said the deputy's use of force was justified during a lawful traffic stop after the driver disobeyed multiple commands, according to the investigative memo.
- Prosecutors will take no further action against Officer D. Bowers in the arrest of William McNeil during a traffic stop, according to the State Attorney's Office for the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida.
- The investigative report stated that Bowers stopped McNeil for multiple traffic violations during a lawful traffic stop, and described cellphone footage of the incident as 'incomplete in scope.'
- Civil rights attorney Ben Crump criticized the ruling and asserted that his client remained calm while officers escalated the situation, stating that they will request an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice due to concerns about police conduct.
- McNeil's lawyers expressed disappointment over the findings and accused the report of attempting to justify the actions of Officer Bowers.
