JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville woman, Brittany Chrishawn Moore, formerly known as Brittany Williams, is embroiled in a legal battle against the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, claiming that an altercation with law enforcement officers led to severe and lasting physical injuries. The incident, which unfolded in May 2020, reportedly began when Moore questioned a police officer parked in her driveway, subsequently escalating into a forceful confrontation.
Moore alleges that during the encounter, she sustained nerve damage to her arm and injuries to her teeth. The confrontation ignited following Moore’s inquiry to Officer Alejandro Carmona regarding his presence on her property, which she claims turned confrontational rapidly. The ordeal left her in a state of shock and confusion, feelings that were compounded when backup officers were called to the scene.
According to Moore, the ensuing involvement of additional police led to her being forcibly taken to the ground in her home, a distressing scene partially captured on body camera footage from the officers. This confrontation led to a series of legal and personal repercussions for Moore, who was later acquitted of a felony battery charge leveled against her concerning this incident.
The emotional and physical fallouts have continued to haunt Moore and her husband, Ausar, influencing their decision to relocate to Texas. However, they have temporarily returned to Jacksonville to attend legal proceedings. Through their lawsuit, they assert that the officers used excessive force and violated Moore’s constitutional rights — a claim that underscores the case’s broader implications concerning police accountability.
Represented by Attorney Kevin O’Connor, the case is seen as a crucial fight for justice, not only for Moore but also as a deterrent against future misconduct. O’Connor’s pointed critique warns of dire consequences if such issues are not addressed by the system. Yet, despite these efforts, Moore feels that justice remains elusive, and questions linger about accountability for the officers involved.
This ongoing struggle is part of a larger narrative that the couple hopes will spark systemic changes to prevent similar incidents in the future. Their story also intersects with another troubling revelation, as Officer Carmona was later convicted on charges unrelated to the incident — specifically online enticement to engage in sexual activity with a minor.
As the legal proceedings continue, the outcome may set a precedent that could either advance or set back the cause of police reform, depending on the adjudication of Moore’s accusations. Though the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office had not commented on the lawsuit at the time of reporting, the impact and implications of Moore’s case continue to resonate well beyond the confines of her personal experience.
