Jacksonville -- Walking down the road, minding his own business, one First Coast man says he was assaulted by a Police Officer and thrown in jail for no reason.
When he was tried for the crime, a judge threw out the case half way through the trial. Bobby Wingate said the incident occurred on Oliver Street in Arlington. The last time Wingate walked down the road, he said he called 9-1-1 to protect himself from the police.
"He parked his car right up here near this curve," he said as he pointed.
On a 9-1-1 recording of that night Wingate can be heard saying, "He said do I really want to fight him? I haven't done anything wrong."

In April, the 34-year-old man took a wad of 20,000 hryvnas ($2,450) from a bank teller in the southern Ukrainian city of Simferopol after threatening to "break her head" if she did not hand over the cash, and gave the money to passers-by and his relatives, the 15minut.org news website said citing local police.

Three gang suspects were detained Monday, including a mother and daughter aged 46 and 25, and a traffic police officer who has been fired from the force, Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin said in a statement. The ex-traffic police officer's wife was later detained as a suspected accomplice as well.
A court has ordered all four to be held in custody pending trial.
Andrei Larionov, head of the local Interior Ministry, said the gang committed its first crime in the Rostov region in July 2007.
A snake is blamed for a one-hour power failure affecting 2,163 consumers in the Kinarut area, about 30km from here.
The snake had apparently caused an electrical trip in the 33KV power supply line from Papar to Kinarut after it was believed to have crawled between the wires at about 9.25am on Sunday.
Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd senior general manager Ahmad Fuad Kasim said a team found the dead snake hanging between the power lines.
They removed the carcass and restored power by 10.30am.
Among the areas affected were Kinarut town, Kampung Gusi, Taman Sungai Wang, Taman Rose Garden and Taman Kinarut Selatan.

'I came across him near the marches,' said the unnamed amateur photographer who tracked him down. 'I approached him up to a dozen metres away.
'He had a military cape, boots and an army gas mark - an antique type, I think. He measured more than 1.90m. He stared at me then turned his back on me and left in silence.'
At any rate, the man, known locally as "Le Loyon", wears a camouflaged cloak and roams the forest trail daily. Up to this time, he had been only a legend with no photographs establishing his existence.
Now, a simply photograph of the woodland perv is not enough to prove his existence beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just ask Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin who caught Bigfoot on film back in 1967. However, the photograph was enough to get local police involved in a quest to determine the man's identity and more importantly his intentions.

Antonio Aniello and his daughter Roseanna Gjuraj, who was with him, sued Yale-New Haven Hospital and security guard Edward Viglione, in Superior Court.
Aniello was 53 when he received a kidney transplant in November 2010. Not quite a year later, on Sept. 11, 2011, his doctor told him to go to Yale-New Haven Hospital's emergency room because he was dizzy, weak and fatigued, he says in the lawsuit. His 28-year-old daughter went with him.
Testing and monitoring were inconclusive and "after nearly nine (9) hours in the ER, waiting to be seen by a kidney specialist, a representative of YNHH advised Aniello that he had been discharged," according to the complaint.
"Aniello and Gjuraj, frustrated by the long wait, lack of resolution regarding Aniello's symptoms, and the fact that despite being in the ER for nine (9) hours the appropriate kidney specialist had not arrived to examine Aniello and determine why he was experiencing dizziness, weakness and fatigue, began gathering themselves and their things to leave, all in the presence of the YNHH representatives / agents / employees."
Casey Harrison, Peter Ferguson, Steve Switzer and Chris Halls were called to an escaped snake.
Mr Halls, a Colchester Council zone team operator, was called to Northern Approach after receiving reports of a snake found by the roadside.
When the team arrived at the scene early on Friday morning near to Straight Road, it wasn't clear if the 6ft snake was alive or dead.
But quick-thinking Chris, who is terrified of snakes, managed to put the reptile in a garden waste bag and tied it using a black bin bag and took it to Colchester Zoo.
There, experts identified it as a North American Pine constrictor snake, a common pet.

A man who discovered the cornsnake alerted bar staff at Chancers in nearby Munches Street on Tuesday night.

There was much discussion of Friday's "disappointing" non-farm payrolls goal-seeked, seasonally adjusted, X-13-ARIMA conceived jobs "number." The conclusion was that it showed an economy which one year after the start of QEternity was growing nowhere near where the Fed has projected and hoped it would be at this time. But in addition to the BLS jobs number, there was another just as important number that was released on Friday: the monthly foodstamp (SNAP) participation update. There was no discussion of this particular number and for good reason. If the NFP number was at least meant to show some economic stability, if subpar, the monthly foodstamp update shows month after month that the greatest depression is nowhere near ending for millions of American living in poverty (83% of SNAP households have gross income at or below 100% of the poverty guideline ($19,530 for a family of 3 in 2013), and these households receive about 91% of all benefits. 61% of SNAP households have gross income at or below 75% of the poverty guideline or $14,648 for a family of 3 in 2013).
Education Secretary Michael Gove
The Education Secretary argued that people who find themselves unable to buy essentials, including food and school uniforms have themselves to blame for being unable 'to manage their finances'.
The remarks were condemned by Labour and 'insulting and out of touch'.
More than half a million people across Britain have turned to food banks to stave off hunger, according to charities.
Ministers have previously argued that a surge in demand has in part been fuelled by jobcentre staff being allowed to refer the unemployed to food banks for help.
Cuts to benefits, frozen or falling wages and rising living costs have been blamed in part for some people struggling to make ends meet.
Mr Gove was challenged over reports that one in four parents are having to borrow to pay for school uniforms and some food banks were distributing uniforms to struggling parents.
