A visibly intoxicated man at Tampa International Airport is escorted by officers who spend nine minutes trying to help him retrieve his luggage and get an Uber home — until he punches one of them in the face, instantly converting a voluntary caretaking contact into a felony arrest. What began as a community caretaking encounter with no detention, no suspicion, and no obligation to comply became a third-degree felony the moment Clayton swung. Florida law draws a precise line between those two moments — and body camera footage documents exactly when and how he crossed it. #bodycam #police #legalanalysis #airportarrest #florida #tampaflorida #useofforce #felony #disorderlyintoxication #bodycamanalysis
