NEW: Jacksonville man pinned down and repeatedly struck by officers during viral arrest now represented by Ben Crump
Dasaun Williams was arrested in November 2025 in Middleburg as part of “Operation Red Light,” a gang and drug investigation.
His mugshot went viral after officers used a stun gun and repeatedly struck Williams while he was pinned on the ground.
He has hired civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who called the footage “deeply disturbing” and demanded a full investigation into possible excessive force.
The case remains under review by the State Attorney’s Office.
Williams is due back in court on April 9, where he faces 27 drug-related charges.
Full bodycam footage of the incident has not been released.
@chibudunga Take ur time fully extend ur punches so u can actually get fighting improvement. The point is to react like ur actually fighting and maintaining proper distance
@ChampRDS@Newmansa94 He said a UFC fighter cannot beat him in boxing match gtfo ur feelings. And you probably could beat him if u r skilled mma but that cuz your 200 pounds heavier, same weight class not happening.
