TL;DR Summary

A Florida deputy, Jesse Hernandez, resigned after firing multiple shots into his own car with a handcuffed suspect inside, mistaking a falling acorn for suppressed weapons fire. The incident occurred during a confrontation with the suspect, Marquis Jackson, who had been detained for refusing to return a vehicle and allegedly threatening his girlfriend. Despite the deputy's use of deadly force, the suspect was uninjured, and the deputy resigned following an investigation that found his actions to be "not objectively reasonable."
