A video of Livingstone College student William McNeil Jr. has gone viral following the release of body camera footage from a traffic stop.
The report of the now-viral incident said the man was reaching for a "large knife" as police removed him, and does not mention hitting him in the car.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Sheriff T.K. Waters will be holding a news conference on Monday to share details about the agency’s investigation into a viral video showing a violent traffic stop in February.
William McNeil Jr. was pulled over by police in Jacksonville, Fla. and dragged from his vehicle when he refused to obey instructions. Now-viral video shows a white officer break the driver’s side window and strike the Black driver in the face.
