JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (April 2, 2026) –– Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump, Attorney Harry Daniels, and the family of Dasaun Williams will hold a news conference to demand justice and accountability following the release of viral body-worn camera footage from Williams’ arrest during a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office operation in Middleburg, Florida.
The video appears to show officers repeatedly striking Williams, deploying a stun gun, and using force while Desaun, who is pinned to the ground, appears to be complying with officers’ commands. The footage raises serious concerns about excessive and unlawful use of force. At the news conference, Attorney Crump and the Williams family will call for a full, transparent investigation into the conduct of the deputies involved and a broader pattern of brutal and violent misconduct within the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
