Tampa man nearly loses $15,000 in Bank of America fraud scheme <\/a><\/p>\nBefore the officer could even file the use of force report, the video had already made it to Police Chief Anthony Holloway. The chief confirmed that the case will be reviewed by the Office of Professional Standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pissed. I\u2019m angry. I\u2019m furious because it doesn\u2019t make no sense,\u201d said Zimorria Hilton.<\/p>\n
Hilton was being pulled over Wednesday morning for tinted windows and a suspended license. She said her uncle, Elery Jackson, walked down to check on her.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs he walked up to my uncle, he stayed, telling my uncle to get back\u2026 He told my uncle if he didn\u2019t back up anymore, he was going to arrest him,\u201d Hilton said.<\/p>\n
The affidavit said Jackson backed up to the edge of the driveway and refused to move back the required 25 feet after being warned. It said he physically resisted the arrest.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was no reason for him to be detained. If you asked me, he didn\u2019t do anything wrong,\u201d Hilton said.<\/p>\n
Holloway said disobeying the 25 feet law can land you in jail.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if the person\u2019s on public property or private property, you have to abide by that order of that first responder telling you to step back,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cA lot of people get that confused. Well, I\u2019m going to videotape. Videotape but stay back that 25 feet, let that officer do his or her job. It\u2019s not your job to hold court right there in the street. It\u2019s your job to be a witness so we can look at it and then we can make the determination if that also violated policy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holloway asks what would people prefer, a ticket or jail? Hilton responded with this, \u201cI would have preferred the ticket, but at the same time, it didn\u2019t call for him to go to jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jackson is facing a resisting officer without violence charge. St. Pete police said they will update 8 On Your Side about if the officer involved has been the subject of use of force cases in the past.<\/p>\n
