Deputy Peter Peraza – Broward County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

On December 24, 2022, Deputy Peter Peraza arrested Jennifer Heath Box, a Texas resident, due to a mistaken identity based on a warrant from Harris County, Texas. Despite several discrepancies, including differences in middle and last names, age, height, and other physical attributes, Peraza proceeded with the arrest. Box was subjected to a body cavity search and detained for three days, causing her to miss Christmas with her family. She filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. The lawsuit seeks compensation for the wrongful arrest, although no specific monetary amount is mentioned.
