During a May 16 traffic stop for a broken taillight, Juan Rivera escalated the situation by resisting a deputy, resulting in his arrest. Unhappy with the outcome, Rivera filed a complaint accusing deputies of excessive force, including slamming him against his truck, throwing him to the ground, and choking him. However, body camera footage from multiple deputies disproved these claims, leading to Rivera being charged with felony perjury for making false allegations.
