Florida deputy fired for using excessive force on traffic stop and lied on report

Largo, Florida
Sheriff Bob Gualtieri fired a deputy for using excessive force against a woman, during a traffic stop. Deputy Wayne Wagner stopped a truck at the Mobile gas station along 4th Street North in St. Petersburg. Sheriff Gualtieri said his deputy lied about what happened during that traffic stop that lead to a woman being charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence. "If you don't tell the truth, you don't work here. It's that simple," Sheriff Gualtieri said. Based on surveillance video, there is no question in Sheriff Gualtieri's mind that Deputy Wagner did not tell the truth about what happened that night after Paige Taylor stepped out of the truck. "Look at them clearly and look at her actions and his actions. He claims, at this point, that he was shoved by her," Sheriff Gualtieri said.The sheriff said the deputy lied on the report even charged Taylor with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence. "It was clear to anybody watching it that there was no contact and that there was no push. There was no shove. There wasn't anything," Sheriff Gualtieri said.
