JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The family of a man arrested by Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is holding a news conference with attorneys Tuesday in Downtown Jacksonville.Le’Keian Woods’ family is holding the news conference outside JSO headquarters after calling the arrest a “racial injustice.” The incident is also receiving national outrage.
Action News Jax obtained new bodycam videos of the arrest. The video shows 24-year-old Le’Keian Woods running away from officers on Friday. After about 30 seconds, the officer fired a taser twice, and Woods fell on his face. According to JSO, Woods ran from the police after officers tried to conduct a traffic stop while he was in the passenger seat of a truck. A portion of the viral video appears to show an officer slamming Woods while he is already on the ground in cuffs, and you can later see him with a bloody and swollen face.
Sheriff Waters detailed in a news conference how Woods got injuries to his face. Meanwhile, Woods’ mother said she wants the officers responsible held accountable.“The truth is Woods sustained facial injuries when he fled from police and was tazed. He fell face-first on the concrete. Detectives struggled with him, and as I stated before, they did so to gain control,” Sheriff Waters said.
“I want all their jobs, them badges on his desk and them dismissed,” said Natassia Woods, Le’Keian’s mother.Intermittent lane closures due to drainage works and utility work on Aquarius Concourse both ways between Blairmore Blvd and Auriga Dr.
