BSO Deputy Punches Man Handcuffed to Hospital Bed

A Broward Sheriff’s deputy seen in body camera footage punching a suspect who was handcuffed to a hospital bed is being accused of excessive force by the public defender’s office. The allegations stem from the January 1 arrest of 27-year-old David Rafferty O’Connell by Deputy Jorge Sobrino on charges of disorderly conduct, battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer without violence.
