Deputy Porcelli – Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In May 2014, Deputy Porcelli arrested a man who attempted to explain his son’s autistic condition during a traffic stop. The man alleged that Porcelli used excessive force, including tasing him multiple times without provocation. A lawsuit was filed against Porcelli, claiming false arrest and excessive force. The court allowed the constitutional claims to proceed, indicating potential misconduct. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/sherman-v-blair-2?utm_source=openai))
