DELTONA, Fla. – Body camera video showed Volusia County Deputies stopping 28-year-old Joseph Griffin during his afternoon jog last week as they searched for a lawn equipment burglar who had a similar description, according to a witness.“African American male, with a white tank top and black shorts, initially,” said Joseph Griffin. “Of course, it was pretty scary.
I didn’t know what was going on at first when he approached me.”Griffin started a Facebook Live video as one deputy put him in handcuffs.“I figured if there were eyes on, then nothing bad would have happened,” he said.In the video, the deputy told Griffin that he was not under arrest but was being detained because he fit the description.
