In the investigation of a black man getting stripped searched by Jacksonville, Florida, Sheriff's deputies found the officers violated the agency's own rules and potentially state law during the 2022 incident.

Ronnie Reed was stripped in the middle of a street in front of his family members. The officers did not find anything, but Reed was arrested for selling cocaine. The State Attorney's Office dropped the charges against Reed in February, but only after spending more than a year pressing him to accept a plea agreement that would have sent him to prison for four years.
Nichole Manna of The Tributary, the investigative reporter who broke this case, is joining me now from Jacksonville, Florida.
