Bully cop gets his feelings hurt by a man with an open container takes things to the point that he got removed from duty pending investigation.
Just after midnight on March 12, 2026, a Daytona Beach police officer, identified as Joel Llinas, approached 27-year-old tourist David Anderson, who was carrying a bottle of alcohol in public. Officer Llinas gave Anderson the option to either pour out the beverage or face a city open container violation. Anderson handed the bottle over to the officer.
According to police reports, a physical struggle began when Anderson allegedly threw the bottle's cap at the officer immediately after handing over the bottle. Officer Llinas immediately took Anderson to the ground to place him under arrest, where he was subsequently handcuffed.
The tension peaked after Anderson was moved to the front of the patrol car. Anderson verbally taunted the officer, stating, "I almost took you out, didn't I?"
The situation quickly intensified as the officer took Anderson back to the ground. While bystander crowds gathered, footage captured a struggle on the pavement where the officer used unnecessary actions on Anderson while he was already restrained.
The fallout from the incident was immediate:
Anderson was initially charged with an open container violation and felony battery on a law enforcement officer. However, the State Attorney's Office officially dropped the felony battery charge, noting that the nature of the arrest itself was sufficient.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young publicly addressed the footage, calling it "concerning" and stating it did not align with departmental standards. Officer Llinas was removed from patrol duties and placed on administrative leave pending a formal internal affairs use-of-force review.
Two wrongs don't make a right. If the bottle cap was indeed throw at the officer, then take him into custody with only the level of force need to place in custody. Everything else beyond that was excessive.
