JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida police officer is without a job after accidentally firing a man’s gun during a traffic stop. On Dec. 13, 2024, a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office officer stopped a vehicle for running a red light. Two other officers, including one identified as M. Cardwell, responded to the traffic stop.

JSO officers pulled over the driver on Dec. 13, saying he ran a red light, while the driver insisted it was yellow when he went through it, according to an internal affairs report. A male officer asked the driver if he had anything “crazy” in the car, and the man told him he had a gun on him, according to the report.
