Florida Deputy Roasted for Unloading Weapon and Screaming 'Shots Fired!' After Mistaking Acorn for Gunshot. The man who was inside the patrol vehicle in the 2023 shooting, thankfully, was not physically injured. A viral video from November 2023 captures an incident in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, where a deputy fired shots at his patrol car after mistaking the sound of a falling acorn for gunfire. Marquis Jackson, who was in the car at the time, described being unlawfully detained and hearing officers mistakenly claim he was armed. Despite no charges being filed, Jackson stated he suffered mental distress from the incident. The deputy involved, Jesse Hernandez, resigned following an investigation that concluded his actions were not justified. The incident has since sparked online ridicule and commentary on the state of policing.
