Still image from the body camera of a Fort Myers police officer during the April 15, 2018, incident involving Holley Jones. A trial is underway for the two officers accused of using excessive force on a Southwest Florida man. Holley jones is suing two Fort Myers police officers, Andrew Barlow and Christian Robles, for tasing him at a 7-Eleven back in 2018. Jones’ attorney says the arrest was unlawful because he had not committed a crime, so Jones did not have to comply with the officer’s orders. The officer who tased Jones a man took the stand on Wednesday. The officer argues Jones was interfering with his investigation by not following his demands and believed Jones tried to fight him when he was running away. The Fort Myers Police Department cleared both officers after its investigation, and the officers’ attorneys said Jones is looking for a free ride with the lawsuit. The officers responded to the gas station on a call for a “disorderly, intoxicated male.” It is unknown if the call was about Jones. Jones testified on Tuesday that he was inside speaking to the store clerk whom he knew when the officers entered the store. On Tuesday, Jones’ attorney asked for a mistrial after the defense attorney, representing the officers, compared Jones to a “gorilla.” The judge denied the motion. The jury is expected to get the case on Friday.
