JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Recently released bodycam footage provides a look at a pursuit that caused two Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office patrol units to crash into each other during the chase.
The incident began Oct. 14 at about 2:00 p.m. when JSO narcotic detectives observed a white Ford F-150, occupied by two men wearing full face masks, driving erratically.
