Former Officer Throws Woman to Ground, Video Shows

This week, newly released body camera footage revealed former Ormond Beach officer Jacob Cannon aggressively throwing handcuffed DUI suspect Shanna McRee onto the floor within the police station.
The incident followed McRee's December arrest for driving under the influence after rear-ending a motorcycle, with conflicting initial claims about how she fell.
Investigations found Cannon used excessive force, acted negligently and abusively, leading the department to relieve him immediately, initiate internal and criminal probes, and accept his resignation.
McRee sustained a head injury that required seven stitches and may result in a lasting scar, while Cannon, who is no longer with the police force, was arrested on felony battery charges, posted $25,000 bail, and has entered a plea of not guilty.
The police department publicly apologized to McRee, disavowed Cannon's actions, emphasized swift leadership response, and the video has prompted calls for a thorough review of department practices.
