Officer in viral traffic stop reprimanded for not including hit to face in initial report

The officer under investigation by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office after video of a violent traffic stop went viral last year has been reprimanded for leaving “a strike to the face” out of his Response to Resistance report. The Internal Affairs investigation exonerated Officer D.J. Bowers of using “unnecessary force” but sustained the administrative charge that he “failed to conform to work standards.” Reporter/anchor Jenese Harris has the latest on the situation.
