Cop earns a paid vacation for arresting man recording police scene.
Jeffersontown Police release bodycam footage after bystander mistakenly detained as suspect.
Jeffersontown Police Department officials hope the body camera footage from an incident that has gone viral will help explain why officers got physical with a bystander livestreaming an encounter with police officers in late November.
Joseph Bennett was detained in a parking lot of a McDonald’s off Bluegrass Parkway. Jeffersontown Police Chief Rick Sanders said Bennett was approached because officers incorrectly thought he was part of multistate crime scheme, not because he was filming.
The chief said officers were also sent to a nearby bank to look for men passing bad checks.
Body camera footage shows Officer Manny Cruz first arresting one suspect in the McDonalds parking lot. Cruz is heard telling the man, “If you take your hands off that car, I’m going to slam you to the ground. I’m going to make sure you get hurt a lot.”
