Description
A local family is planning to sue the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office after a mix-up led to guns being drawn on a father and his teen daughter. The incident unfolded on January 1 and lasted for about 20 minutes.
10 Tampa Bay obtained body camera and dash camera video, showing the incident from multiple viewpoints. There is about 90 minutes of video that shows how a typo led to guns drawn and pointed at Jason Frederico and his 16-year-old daughter.
"Driver, step out of the vehicle," a deputy yells at Frederico. "Driver and all passengers-- hands up."
Frederico complies with the deputy's commands, not knowing why he was pulled over with guns drawn and pointed at him.
"The dad was taking the daughter home to mom's house after having a nice dinner," TJ Grimaldi, an attorney representing Frederico and his daughter, said.
Frederico is detained in handcuffs and put in the back of a sheriff's vehicle. Then the guns point towards his daughter.
