JSO officer 'stripped of law enforcement authority' as agency investigates February traffic stop

Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters held a news conference on Monday to address the viral video showing a violent traffic stop between officers and Will McNeil Jr on Feb. 19. At the briefing, Waters showed body-camera footage from two officers who were involved in the arrest, Officer Bowers and Officer Miller, after announcing that the State Attorney’s Office found the officers’ actions did not violate criminal law, but added that Bowers has been stripped of his law enforcement authority.
