Bodycam footage from an incident involving the Orange City Police Department is generating significant attention after officers detained a man they were attempting to identify as the subject of an arrest warrant.
According to reports surrounding the incident, officers arrived at a residence to execute an active warrant for Harry DeCancio Jr.
However, the encounter quickly became contentious when officers confronted Harry DeCancio Sr., his father.
Video from the scene reportedly shows DeCancio Sr. insisting that officers had the wrong person as they attempted to take him into custody.
The situation escalated into a physical struggle inside the home.
Footage appears to show officers forcing the man onto furniture and restraining him while attempting to gain control of the situation.
Critics of the arrest argue that key identifying information contained in the warrant should have clarified the difference between the father and son before force was used.
Supporters of law enforcement note that officers often must make rapid decisions in uncertain situations and may rely on the information available to them at the time.
