Florida Deputy Found Drunk in Car with Loaded Gun: Keeps His Job Even With Ongoing Abuse of Citizens

A Florida sheriff's deputy, Jonathon Lane, once caught intoxicated in his patrol car, demonstrated blatant hypocrisy during an October 2024 traffic stop. Lane aggressively demanded a driver’s identification, forcibly extracting him from his vehicle even before it was parked, which resulted in the truck rolling down the street, endangering the man's family and a boat attached. Accusing the driver of battery, despite video evidence showing no such act occurred, Lane escalated the situation by brandishing his Taser. The driver, who suffered from a traumatic brain injury affecting his compliance, ended up in jail on felony charges. Lane's previous DUI arrest, marked confidential shortly after, raises questions about preferential treatment for law enforcement, as he continued patrolling, with no visible repercussions.
