COP Caught on Camera Slamming Handcuffed Man—Arrested and Fired! A routine DUI arrest takes a disturbing turn when Nassau County Sheriff's Deputy William Woods is accused of using force against a handcuffed suspect, Tyler Merritt, inside a patrol vehicle. According to the case transcript, Merritt was arrested after allegedly driving under the influence, hitting a curb, and nearly colliding with a parked vehicle and a light pole. While handcuffed in the patrol car, Merritt reportedly began striking his head against the window. Deputy Woods then opened the door and pulled him from the vehicle, causing Merritt to fall onto the pavement and lose consciousness. But the incident didn't end there. Investigators later discovered significant discrepancies between Deputy Woods' written report and the footage recorded by his body camera. What began as a DUI arrest soon developed into a criminal investigation focused on the deputy himself. Woods was reportedly suspended, arrested, and ultimately fired from the Nassau County Sheriff's Office. He subsequently faced a felony charge of official misconduct and a misdemeanor battery charge. Meanwhile, Merritt entered a no-contest plea to the DUI charge and received probation. The resisting charge against him was dropped, and the careless driving citation was dismissed. How did a traffic-related arrest escalate into a case that put the arresting officer under criminal investigation? Watch the full bodycam breakdown to examine the footage, the conflicting accounts, and the events that followed. ⚠️ **Disclaimer:** This video is presented for news reporting, commentary, and educational purposes.
