It shows a woman \u2014 identified as Tynika Munn, who is Black \u2014 being verbally and physically harassed while sitting in her car after pulling into a driveway to pick up a friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Munn, known to many as Ty, told News4JAX she called 911 immediately after the incident \u2014 and waited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">\u201cI sat on the 9-1-1 call. I asked, \u2018Are you sending someone out ASAP?\u2019 Because you want me to sit in front of somebody\u2019s house that can potentially go in and get a gun and just start shooting?\u201d Munn said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">JSO told News4JAX it became aware of the video earlier this week and launched an investigation. Officers showed up at Munn\u2019s door Thursday morning \u2014 three days after the incident. News4JAX Reporter Ashley French was there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Munn says the confrontation began when she pulled into the man\u2019s driveway at the direction of the friend she was picking up. She says what happened next was unprovoked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">\u201cThe video doesn\u2019t start where the aggression started,\u201d Munn told News4JAX. \u201cThe man actually got into his car, revved it up, and forced me to back out of the driveway. Then he parks to the side \u2014 and approaches me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">She says she questioned why he was driving toward her car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">\u201cAnd then I\u2019m like, why are you trying to hit my car? That\u2019s all I said,\u201d Munn said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t move the car anywhere but to the side \u2014 so it shows he was intentionally trying to antagonize me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">The video gained widespread attention after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tizzyent\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tizzyent\/?hl=en\">popular content creator Michael McWhorter<\/a> \u2014 who has more than 2 million followers \u2014 shared it online. Commenters expressed outrage and called for the man\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">When JSO officers met with Munn Thursday morning, she says they revealed the man in the video had a prior history with law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">\u201cThey said they have had contact with him before because he\u2019s already got a history of bad behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Munn says the encounter shook her deeply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">\u201cWhen it first happened, yes, I was in tears,\u201d she said. \u201cTo be treated despicably like that man treated me on Monday \u2014 that kind of touched me with everything else that I was going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">News4JAX is choosing not to publish the man\u2019s name and has blurred his face in the video because he had not yet been formally charged at the time this story was first reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">JSO confirmed the man has been taken into custody, but it is unclear what charges he could face.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">News4JAX asked JSO whether an officer was sent to respond to Munn\u2019s initial 911 call on Monday and requested more details about the man\u2019s prior history with the department. JSO did not answer those questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">News4JAX also attempted to reach the man\u2019s family for comment.
