Bodycam video shows a police officer tasing a woman who was accused of stealing from a Publix grocery store in Jacksonville, Florida on February 4, 2020.
An employee called the police saying they believed that the woman stole from the grocery store. Upon arrival, the woman told the officer that she had a receipt but refused to show him and accused employees of racially profiling her.
After questioning the woman multiple times, the officer stated he was going to arrest and tase her, which he did shortly after.
Following her arrest, the officer found the receipt that proved she rightfully purchased the goods. The woman later sued Publix for $50,000 in damages. The case was dismissed with prejudice by a Duval County Florida judge in December 2021.
