A routine traffic stop turned into a viral disaster when a Florida sheriff’s deputy accidentally Tasered his own partner in the middle of a wild takedown—and the body-locking jolt was all caught on camera.
The incident went down Saturday night in Jacksonville, FL, and has since blown up online after raw footage showed two deputies wrestling a suspect on the ground—only for one officer to be zapped in the backside by his partner.
💥 “You can literally see the moment his body locks up and he just drops,” one TikTok user commented under the viral clip.
What Went Down? A Traffic Stop Turned Tense
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the chaos began when 22-year-old Kheilan Haynes was pulled over for running a red light. Things escalated when deputies attempted to arrest him and he resisted, refusing to show his hands while pinned on the ground next to a Jeep.
That’s when Sergeant T. Robinson pulled out his Taser.
Robinson later admitted he intended to subdue Haynes — but instead nailed fellow Officer Z.J. Poole in the back.
Taser Misfire Sends Officer Crumpling
In the video, after an initial failed Taser attempt, Robinson fires again. This time, the Taser probes miss Haynes and land squarely in Poole, who seizes up instantly and collapses face-first as Haynes uses the chaos to escape on foot.
“The suspect saw his window and ran for it,” said a witness who filmed the clip.
“That other cop didn’t even see it coming. He just dropped.”
Caught Eventually — And Tased Again
Despite the accidental friendly fire, authorities eventually caught up with Haynes, who had fled the scene. This time, officers say the Taser hit its intended target—Haynes—and actually worked.
Haynes was arrested and now faces a slew of charges, including:
- Felony possession of fentanyl
- Misdemeanor resisting arrest without violence
- Possession of marijuana (under 20 grams)
He was reportedly evaluated and booked without further incident.
The Internet Reacts: ‘Can’t Make This Up’
The moment has gone massively viral across social media platforms like Twitter/X, TikTok, and Facebook, with many users reacting to the absurdity and unfortunate pain of it all:
💬 “Bro folded like a lawn chair 😭”
💬 “He hit friendly fire like it was Call of Duty.”
💬 “That’s why I’m not being a cop. Not getting zapped for minimum wage.”
Others criticized the force’s handling of the situation, noting the dangers of Tasers in chaotic arrest conditions.
No Charges for the Cop Who Pulled the Trigger
The sheriff’s office confirmed that the misfire was accidental and that no disciplinary action has been announced against Sergeant Robinson—at least for now.
Officer Poole, meanwhile, has not commented publicly but is expected to make a full recovery after the shocking takedown.
One Traffic Stop, Two Tasers, and Endless Memes
In what can only be described as a Florida-style plot twist, the incident serves as a strange reminder of how fast a routine arrest can go sideways—especially when Tasers are involved.
And while Haynes is facing serious charges, the public can’t stop replaying the jaw-dropping moment of one deputy accidentally lighting up his own partner.
