Florida police release body cam footage of Johnny Damon’s DUI arrest

Police in Windermere, Fla., Tuesday released body camera video showing the February traffic stop and subsequent arrest of former Red Sox star Johnny Damon and his wife.

Taken the night of Feb. 19, the footage showed the 47-year-old former outfielder admitting to drinking before getting behind the wheel. The video also shows Damon and his wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, being told by the officers to stay in the car, but neither complied, resulting in pushing and shoving.

At several points in the video, Damon mentions his support of the police, and adds that he knows “people are trying to target me because I’m a [Donald] Trump supporter.
