HCSO deputies frisked, interrogated wrong veteran about suicide threat

Navy veteran Sean Williams and his wife Alexis were enjoying a kid-free Sunday on March 12 when their home camera system captured two deputies approaching the family’s front door. “I was like, what are the cops doing in my house?" Sean said. ABC Action News obtained the body camera footage from one of the officers. It showed deputies asking Sean to step out of his Riverview home before questioning him about owning and gun and whether he had threatened suicide during a recent chat with a VA crises counselor. “I told him no, it wasn't me," Williams said. "I hadn't been in contact with the VA at all.”
