Deputy Sapp – Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In May 2014, Deputy Sapp was involved in the arrest of a man who tried to discuss his son’s autism during a traffic stop. The man alleged that Sapp failed to intervene when another deputy used excessive force, including multiple taser deployments. A lawsuit was filed against Sapp for failure to intervene and excessive force. The court allowed the claims to proceed, suggesting possible misconduct.
