Florida cop accidentally shoots driver with his own gun during routine traffic stop

 

A police department in Florida is moving to fire an officer after she accidentally shot a man with his own gun during a routine traffic stop last month.

Officer Mindy Cardwell was called to assist with a traffic stop on Dec. 13 along with another cop after Jason Arrington, 39, had been pulled over by an officer for running a red light, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook.

Arrington was fully cooperating with all three officers, the body camera footage showed. He had informed the cop who originally pulled him over that he did have a gun holstered in his waistband.
