The Jacksonville, Florida, Sheriff's Office has opened an administrative review as videos circulating online show violent interactions between deputies and fans at this weekend's University of Florida vs. University of Georgia rivalry football game.
The schools were playing Saturday at Jacksonville’s Everbank Stadium, where at least two altercations between fans and law enforcement led deputies to use their stun guns.
One video went viral after it was posted by Tate Moore, a Barstool Sports employee, in which by deputies appeared to repeatedly punch two game spectators.
In Moore's video, one fan is a man with gray hair and a Florida Gators shirt being held bent over as a deputy repeatedly brings his arm down over his upper back. Another angle of the incident shows the man being punched around his neck.
The second video, posted by a man on X named John Phillips, also appears to show the deputy deploying a stun gun on the man in the Gators shirt.
