Coast Guard officer, Shane Sprague, bought a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X on June 21 from Doral Volkswagen in South Florida. For many years, Shane had wanted this specific truck: a GMC 1500 AT4X. He worked hard, and made sacrifices, to be able to save money for the down payment. He put down a $15,000 deposit, traded in a 2012 Ford Focus for $1,500, and financed the rest of the $61,230 purchase price through the dealer. A dealership employee even snapped a photo of Shane looking happy with his purchase, and later texted him, thanking him for the sale and wishing him well. But, 10 days later, on July 1, an unmarked F-150 rammed his rear bumper, and he was arrested at gunpoint by Broward County deputies…

Imagine it’s Christmas Eve. You’ve just returned from a family cruise, you’re tired but happy, and you can’t wait to get home for the holidays. Instead, you’re suddenly surrounded by deputies, handcuffed in front of your children, and told you’re under arrest for a crime you didn’t commit. That’s exactly what happened to Jennifer Heath Box, a 50-year-old mother from Texas, who ended up spending 75 miserable hours in a Florida jail… all because police got the wrong Jennifer. I first told you her story 8 months ago, telling you about the lawsuit the Institute For Justice filed on her behalf, asking you to send them donations to help fund their efforts. Now I have a big update on that lawsuit, that many of you helped make a reality.

In Broward County, Florida, a teenage high school student was driving to school one morning, along with his younger sister, in rush-hour bumper-to-bumper traffic. They encountered a police officer who appeared to them to be directing traffic. When the officer pointed towards an empty right-hand lane of traffic, they turned the vehicle in that direction and continued driving to school. Unbeknownst to them, the Broward County Sheriff’s deputy was attempting to perform a traffic stop, albeit in a lazy and confusing manner. Believing that the kids purposefully chose not to stop, he chased them down, pulled the brother out of the car, put him in handcuffs, and arrested him, being as rude as humanely possible in the process. Once he realized his mistake, he lied.

This woman’s family brought her to a hospital in Broward County, Florida because she was having a mental breakdown. She didn’t want to get out of the truck in the parking lot because she was afraid she would be hurt. She was right ,unfortunately. Several police officers offered to help get her into the hospital. One of those was Deputy Murillo with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. He ended up yanking her out of the truck “by the chain” and then literally breaking her arm in two.

Here’s the full raw footage.

What was supposed to be a joyous Christmas celebration turned into a nightmare for Jennifer Heath Box, when Broward County, Florida, sheriff’s deputies arrested her and threw her in jail for three days—all because they refused to check their paperwork to make sure they had the right person. Because of indifference of police and jail personnel, Jennifer missed Christmas with her family and, most importantly, missed seeing her son before he deployed overseas with the United States Marines. Fortunately, the Institute for Justice is on the case…
