Blind Jim Hodges illegally arrested

Jim Hodges, a legally blind US Navy Veteran, was walking back from jury duty when two officers from the Columbia County Florida Sheriffs' office wrongfully mistook his walking stick for a weapon. When Jim articulated and asked for his Constitutional Rights to be upheld and then asked for the names and badge numbers of the arresting officers, the officers decided to arrest him in retaliation. This stop violated many of Jim's rights, and he ended up being kidnapped and spending 26 hours in jail. It is ridiculous that blind navy vets know our Constitutional Rights better than power-mad, egotistical law enforcement officers.
