DELAND, Fla. - Law enforcement officers shot and killed a 20-year-old man during a traffic stop Friday in DeLand, the DeLand Police Department has confirmed. Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood gave a press conference in the hours following the shooting deta.
“Oh, that’s a problem,” Umberger replied as he kept his cellphone focused on Johnson.
In the back seat, DeLand Police Capt. Prurince Dice, playing the part of a recalcitrant passenger, wasn’t having any of it. Dice accused Johnson of fabricating the stop.
“He lying. He lying. I want to see the radar,” Dice said.
“Officer” Johnson turned his attention to Dice and broke from standard procedure for a traffic stop.
“Who is your barber?” Johnson asked Dice, and he didn’t mean it as a compliment. That caused Dice and the room of about 18 students to fill with laughter.
