    Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters released body camera footage of
    the violent arrest of William Anthony McNeil, Jr., a 22-year-old
    Black man, after cellphone video capturing part of the incident
    went viral on social media.

    The video shows sheriff's deputies beating and punching McNeil
    during a traffic stop after he repeatedly questioned why he was
    being pulled over and refused to exit his vehicle in an incident
    that occurred on Feb. 19, 2025.

    Waters said that "the State Attorney's Office has determined that
    none of the involved officers violated criminal law," but
    highlighted that the deputies' actions are now being examined in an "administrative review," which will determine if the deputies
    "violated JSO policy." He also identified the deputy who broke the
    car window and punched McNeil as officer D. Bowers.

    "These administrative reviews are ongoing, but the State Attorney's
    Office has determined that none of the involved officers violated
    criminal law, even though the administrative review has yet to be
    completed," Waters said.

    "Pending the outcome of this administrative review, Officer Bowers
    has been stripped of his law enforcement authority," Waters said.
    It is unclear if other deputies involved in the arrest have been
    placed on administrative leave. ABC News has reached out to JSO and
    the Florida State Attorney's Office for further comment.

    Harry Daniels, an attorney representing McNeil, told ABC News Live
    anchor Kyra Phillips in an interview on Monday afternoon that his
    client plans to take legal action.

    "This officer broke his window and just punched him in his face.
    Mr. McNeil suffered very significant injury," Daniels said.

    Too bad he didn't shoot him and drag him out for the 'gators.

    His head was empty anyway, no injury there.
