Jacksonville, Florida — July 13, 2026: Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) Officer Shane Saydek, 43, was captured on body-worn camera striking a handcuffed detainee twice during the booking process at the agency's sally port, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

The detainee, 43-year-old Kaashif Griffin, had been arrested earlier that day on charges of possession of an open container in a vehicle and resisting an officer without violence. JSO said Griffin appeared to be extremely intoxicated, incoherent, and was being processed for fingerprinting when the incident occurred.

According to investigators, Saydek repeatedly instructed Griffin to stop moving his fingers and warned him that he would be struck if he continued. Saydek also alleged Griffin had scratched him during the fingerprinting process. Body-worn camera footage shows Saydek punching Griffin twice in the head and face while Griffin remained handcuffed.

JSO stated Griffin did not appear to be combative at the time of the incident and did not suffer injuries requiring medical treatment.

A second officer who witnessed the incident immediately reported Saydek's actions through the chain of command, prompting an investigation by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Integrity Unit.

On July 14, 2026, investigators arrested Saydek on one count of battery, a first-degree misdemeanor. The Sheriff's Office stripped him of his law enforcement authority, placed him on suspension, and announced it will seek his termination.

He wanted it twice, I guess he didn't understand.

Should have celled his dumb ass up and tried again in 24 hours. You can do that indefinitely, not just 72 hours.

And this is why criminals think they run the jails. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Integrity Unit should be locked up and then EOW'ed in front of their family.

While Kaashif Griffin is in his cell ruminating about how he was punched twice, Officer Shane Saydek probably went home and slept like a baby. 43 year old man and these actions of violence is what he is contributing to society.
