The incident occurred on December 6, 2024, at the Ormond Beach Police Department in Ormond Beach, Florida. It involved former Ormond Beach Police Department (OBPD) officer Jacob Ryan Cannon, age 32 at the time, using physical force against Shanna McRee, a 46-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). Body camera footage captured Cannon slamming the handcuffed McRee to the ground during a breathalyzer test, resulting in a severe head injury. Cannon initially claimed McRee attempted to flee and fell on her own, but the video evidence contradicted this, leading to charges of excessive force. McRee required seven stitches for a head laceration that left a visible scar. The case drew significant media attention after the footage was publicly released in June 2025, highlighting issues of police accountability. Background and Arrest of Shanna McRee • Crash Details: Around 10:30 p.m. on December 6, 2024, McRee rear-ended a motorcycle at 274 W. Granada Blvd. in Ormond Beach, causing property damage but no serious injuries to the motorcyclist. OBPD Officer Melissa Edmonds responded to the scene and observed signs of impairment, including slurred speech and the smell of alcohol. • Field Sobriety and Arrest: McRee failed field sobriety tests and was arrested without incident at the scene. She was charged with: • DUI with property damage. • Resisting an officer without violence. • Disorderly intoxication. • Refusal to submit to chemical testing (after later refusing a breathalyzer). • Behavior During Processing: Transported to OBPD headquarters, McRee was placed in a 20-minute observation period. She was verbally abusive toward officers, repeatedly calling them “pathetic” and using profanity, including statements like “You should be f***ing ashamed of yourselves.” This combative demeanor escalated during the breathalyzer test. The Incident: Breathalyzer Test and Use of Force • Setup: Officer Cannon joined Officer Edmonds in a back room for the breathalyzer. McRee, handcuffed behind her back, provided two initial samples deemed insufficient by Cannon. She then requested to use the bathroom, which was denied until the test was completed. • Escalation: McRee stood up from her chair, refusing commands to sit. She confronted Cannon and Edmonds verbally. Cannon, who is 5’10” and 260 pounds, grabbed McRee’s shoulder and shoved her forcefully toward the chair and into a glass wall, causing her to fall head-first to the concrete floor. • Immediate Aftermath: McRee screamed in pain and began bleeding profusely from a gash on her forehead, leaving a trail of blood on the floor. Neither officer provided first aid immediately; Edmonds called for paramedics, while Cannon falsely told them McRee had “stood up and attempted to leave the room before slipping and falling, striking the metal frame around the glass wall.” • Injury: Paramedics transported McRee to a hospital, where she received seven staples (often referred to as stitches in reports) for the laceration. The injury is expected to leave a 1- to 2-inch permanent scar across her forehead, described in court as “glaringly obvious” and potentially requiring plastic surgery to correct. Jacob Cannon’s Response and Initial Claim Cannon, who had been with OBPD since February 2023 after prior service in Georgia, initially denied using excessive force. He claimed McRee tried to run, leading to her accidental fall. However, the body-worn camera footage clearly showed him throwing her down without any attempt to flee. An internal affairs investigation by OBPD concluded Cannon’s actions were negligent, abusive, and constituted excessive force. Department Response and Investigations • Immediate Actions: Upon reviewing the footage that evening, OBPD leadership relieved Cannon of duty and launched parallel investigations: a criminal probe by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and an internal affairs

«Officer Cannon is tellin the DUI suspect to have a sit when she needs to have a piss. Thing is that you must comply to what the trooper asks you to do no matter piss or not. On the other hand he was fired afterwards. So the lady wins this one. If I ware her I would have pissed the floor first thing.»
