"Florida Deputy Mistakes Acorns for Gunshots, Fires at Unarmed Man: Bodycam Video"

Former Okaloosa Sheriff's Office Deputy Jesse Hernandez resigned after mistaking the sound of acorns falling on his cruiser for gunshots, leading him to open fire on a suspect. The incident occurred during a secondary search of a detained suspect, Marquis Jackson, and resulted in Hernandez shouting "shots fired," falling to the ground, and firing at his patrol vehicle. An internal investigation found Hernandez's use of force to be unreasonable, leading to his resignation, while another deputy involved was exonerated. The sheriff's office has incorporated the incident into its training and expressed gratitude that no one was injured.
