1st Arrest Under New Law as REPEAT OFFENDER Goes Wild Outside School – BITES COP!
A crazy scenario unfolded a few days ago in Florida with video of the incident starting to go viral.
Things started fairly benign — a traffic infraction that would have likely ended in a simple citation and fine.
But when the Police Officer approached the alleged driver of the vehicle, the woman resisted from the very start.
And by the time everything was said and done… MULTIPLE people were arrested — marking the first time a brand new law has been used for the purpose of protecting Police during their interactions with the public.
And the Jacksonville Sheriff Department even wound up arresting a teen from the school who threatened to go on a killing spree because of it all!
When I say this was a crazy situation… I’m not exaggerating one bit!
After trying to convince the Officer that the still-running vehicle in the middle of the road wasn’t hers…
The woman, later identified as Erika McGriff, then refused to produce her ID.
Keep in mind — the Officer WATCHED HER get out of the running vehicle and head towards the school as he drove up.
The situation quickly escalated from there, turning into something like a UFC ground game highlight reel.
Complete with a few PUNCHES thrown from both sides when it went to a standup fist fight.
At one point, there was even a headlock employed… followed by a vicious takedown.
There are several camera angles, including body cam footage, currently making the rounds on social media.
But check out this clip — the one currently going VIRAL — partly because it was shared by a controversial trial lawyer focused on civil rights litigation:

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a Black mother outside her child’s school after an officer confronted her about leaving her car illegally parked and unattended. This level of force on an unarmed woman in a school pick-up line is outrageous!

Besides that footage taken by a bystander and uploaded to social media…
There is also body camera footage from the Officer’s perspective, and it’s no less harrowing.
That footage was revealed by Jacksonville Co. Sheriff T.K. Waters in a press conference on Saturday.
I’ll embed that video here from the Sheriff Department, and cue it up to start at the beginning of the body cam footage:
(EDIT: This video has since been age-restricted, meaning you can only watch it on YouTube. If you click over to watch, the body camera footage starts just after the 1:58 second mark.)
Here’s a different clip of that body cam footage from YouTube NOT currently set with an age restriction:
During the Sheriff’s subsequent press conference (a portion of which is also shown following the body cam footage in the video above) Sheriff Waters indicated that every action taken by the Officer was in keeping with protocol, and justified.
He also indicated as I did in the headline… at some point the woman BIT the Officer!
Hard enough to leave visible bite marks!
I guess maybe they could have ID’d her by her dental records if she would have slipped out of his grip?
Check out these crazy shots I grabbed from the body cam footage clearly showing the bite marks she left on the Officer’s arm:
Sheriff Waters also highlighted during the press conference covered in that age-restricted YouTube video that Erika McGriff is a repeat traffic offender.
And as it turns out, she was driving with a REVOKED LICENSE to begin with, as was later reported by the local NBC affiliate, First Coast News, out of Jacksonville:
In a press conference Friday afternoon, Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters announced the arrest of a woman accused of punching and biting an officer outside of an IDEA charter school on Tuesday.
Erika McGriff, 39, has been arrested on charges of battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence and operating a motor vehicle while having a revoked driver’s license, all third-degree felonies and each punishable by up to five years in prison.
Additionally, McGriff has received multiple traffic citations, Waters said.
McGriff’s arrest stems from a Tuesday, Oct. 7 incident outside the IDEA charter school, located at 1845 Bassett Rd.
McGriff, a parent of an IDEA student who Waters called a “habitual traffic offender with revoked Florida driving privileges,” illegally parked her running car at an intersection near the school and left it unattended, Waters said.
Waters explained that Officer Holton attempted to talk to McGriff about her car, but said McGriff “escalated the verbal conversation to physical violence.”
In bodycam footage shown during the press conference, Holton is seen slamming McGriff on the ground and grabbing her hair after a fist fight between the two in front of a large crowd.
“She violently resisted Officer Holton and eventually, punched him repeatedly and bit him with such force that it left a bite impression on his forearm,” Waters said. “It’s shocking to me that you square up to fight a police officer just maybe when you’re gonna get a citation.”
“So, what’s today’s takeaway?” Waters rhetorically asked. “If you violently resist our officers, if you punch them, if you bite them, you will be arrested. If you crowd and harass our officers or any first responder after a verbal warning, you will be arrested. Officer Holton was simply doing his job.” (Emphasis added.)
If you’ll notice the quote from Sheriff Waters above that I highlighted in bold, that’s where the NEW LAW comes into play.
Florida’s new ‘Halo Law’ went into effect for the first time at the beginning of the year.
But the incident last Tuesday involving McGriff was the first time it had been put to use after some of the bystanders allegedly harassed the Officer while he attempted to place her under arrest.
Here’s a clip from the local news station, News4Jax out of Jacksonville, with the story on those arrests:
Both women arrested under the new ‘Halo Law’ now face misdemeanor charges of their own for violating the new law and creating a dangerous situation for the arresting Officer.
And as I mentioned earlier, a teen was subsequently arrested by authorities for making a threat the Sheriff said stemmed directly from this incident, according to this press release from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office:
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) arrested 59-year-old Anita Gibson and 36-year-old Jasmine Jefferson after they violated Florida’s Halo Law (Statute 843.31) earlier this week. Their arrests stem from an incident outside of a charter school on Bassett Road on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
Erika McGriff, 39, left her car illegally parked and running in an intersection while she was picking her student up from the school. JSO Officer Holton attempted to lawfully discuss the matter with McGriff; she escalated the verbal conversation to physical violence. McGriff punched Officer Holton repeatedly, even biting him hard enough to leave an impression.
Gibson and Jefferson were initially part of the crowd surrounding the officer and McGriff. However, Gibson and Jefferson violated the law by harassing the officer and failing to provide him with a 25-foot area to safely detain McGriff.
This incident and the behaviors modeled by the adults to the students at the school has direct consequences. A teenager has been arrested after she made threats to shoot up the charter school because of this incident.
Just last month, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office shared a video on its social media, warning citizens that leaving a vehicle running and unattended is a violation of state law. (Emphasis added.)
As that writeup from the Jacksonville County Sheriff Office pointed out…
Ironically, the Department literally warned Jacksonville residents just a few weeks ago NOT to do EXACTLY what Erika McGriff did!
It’s even against Florida law to leave your keys in your car when you exit the vehicle — even if the car ISN’T running — according to that recent warning video:
If you’ll recall, the video going viral from the incident is the one shared on X by Ben Crump — the trial attorney who handles civil rights cases.
That’s probably a good hint that we’ll be hearing more about this case in the coming days.
I have to admit that I often cover these kinds of stories with a constant chuckle, and NEAR constant eye-rolling.
People just have a completely illogical expectation of what’s going to happen when they IDIOTICALLY thumb their nose at law enforcement!
Maybe it’s my age, or maybe it’s the obvious fact that this situation DID NOT have to go the direction it did.
But I found myself PRAYING for Erika McGriff… more than laughing at her.
I still laughed — don’t get me wrong. It’s just the automatic knee-jerk response I have when people forget to HIDE their CRAZY!
But the ramifications of her lawless approach…
The consequences for her illegitimate rebellion against legitimate authority…
And all the strife and conflict that is likely to come from her bad decisions…
Those are weighty things, potentially impacting far more people than those already caught up in a situation that she FULLY had within her power to avoid from the start.
And SHOULD HAVE.
So yep — I’m laughing — but it’s overshadowed somewhat by a heavy heart for the lawless nature of sinful man STILL running rampant in the cities of this great nation.
“Make America Great Again”, so the saying goes. And — I think we are.
But we still have so much more work to do, as this story clearly shows.
