Man Seen Kicked by BSO Deputies Bonds Out as Internal Review Begins

Deputies were responding to a nearby shooting, with the agency saying the 22-year-old was not a suspect.

Overview

  • Cellphone video shows five Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies forcing Jeremyah Taylor to the ground as one deputy repeatedly kicks and stomps on him during the detention in Pompano Beach.
  • BSO says an administrative review is underway and the incident will go before its Use of Force Review Board for further scrutiny.
  • Taylor bonded out of jail on Thursday with an ankle monitor and sought hospital care, where he reported a minor head injury and bruising.
  • He faces resisting and battery charges, and a prosecutor noted in bond court that this is his fourth pending felony case.
  • BSO said Taylor was not involved in the shooting that drew deputies to the area, while his uncle, 37-year-old Timothy Taylor, and another man were arrested in that investigation.
