Bodycam released after confrontation with officer leads to womanโs arrest
The Jacksonville woman says she asked a police officer - who had parked in her driveway - to leave and that she was arrested after the officer entered her home without a warrant. In many instances, the footage from the video -- released by the State Attorneyโs Office -- has been redacted. It led to Williams being wrestled into custody, with the arresting officer claiming that Williams kicked and scratched him. Officer: โJust reading emails.โItโs an explanation the officer repeats several times in the footage, defending his parking spot to other officers as well. Notably, in the new video files, the footage is redacted at any point the officer enters the house.

Williams asked, โWhy are yโall here and why are yโall smirking?โVideo shows the officer moving toward Williams, then walking up the stairs. One officer asked the arresting officer, โWhy did you park here?โ The officer responded, โWhy not? Would an officer go to another type of neighborhood and sit in someoneโs driveway without permission? The answer is more than likely no.โThe Jacksonville Sheriffโs Office has declined to comment as this is an active criminal investigation.
