What started as a trip to the store for Army veteran Isiah James ended in a physical confrontation with a Riviera Beach police officer over a handicapped-accessible parking spot.
James, 28, said a Riviera Beach police sergeant yelled at him for parking in the spot despite James' parking placard. A wounded combat veteran, James started filming the interaction with the sergeant. On video, the sergeant appears to lunge toward James and slap the phone out of James' hands.
The Riviera Beach Police Department is launching an investigation into whether the officer acted appropriately in his interaction with James.
