Body cam footage shows Assistant State Attorney 'searching' Jacksonville rapper Foolio's car, police arresting him as rapper questions officers
9 videos • 2,389 views • by First Coast News Police body cam video obtained by First Coast News offers a first look at the disputed April 4 traffic stop of Jacksonville rapper Charles Jones, aka Foolio. The video shows police pulling Jones over for an alleged window tint violation and felony fleeing while driving eastbound on Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway in a heavily tinted Dodge Durango. Foolio remains on house arrest following the April traffic stop, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. But his attorneys have challenged in court how that traffic stop was handled. According to Foolio's attorney, Lewis Fusco, the rapper didn't flee, "He rolled to a 300-foot stop." The video does not make clear when the officer initiated the stop. It shows Foolio stopped 43 seconds after the video begins, emerging with hands out. The footage shows a deputy grabbing Foolio by his hoodie and slamming his head against the side of a car, while yelling at him to stop resisting.
