First hit to man’s face by JSO officer omitted in all police reports related to controversial arrest

The first hit to 22-year-old William McNeil Jr’s face during his controversial traffic stop and arrest in February is notably absent from any police reports filed about the incident.

The open-handed blow delivered by JSO Officer Donald Bowers is clearly visible in the cell phone video shot on McNeil’s phone, but it can’t be seen on the police body cam video.
