Edgewater, FL - A tired CVS worker wearing a hoodie and waiting for a Lyft was arrested after his shift by an Edgewater police officer for no apparent reason, according to body camera footage of the incident and the man's grandfather.
"My grandson got off work at the CVS a couple of Saturday nights ago, and he was accosted, and he was arrested, and he spent 2-1/2 days in a county jail for absolutely doing nothing," Paul Wert said.
Wert conveyed the same message to the Edgewater City Council Monday night.
Wert's grandson, also named Paul, 22, was arrested May 10 shortly after 10 p.m., minutes after the CVS where he worked closed. He had called his sister, who sent him a Lyft driver, so he sat on a bench to wait, and that's when Officer Daniel Rippeon pulled up.
The grandmother, Helen Wert, also addressed the city council Monday night, telling them, "He just got off work at CVS at 10 o'clock, and at 10:05 your police officer is there and arrested him for not doing anything."
In a brief arrest report, Edgewater police said Rippeon was on patrol when he spotted the younger Paul Wert wearing a hoodie in front of the closed CVS. The officer said Paul Wert tried to hide behind a pillar, but a body camera video does not show that.
The recording shows Wert sitting on a bench in front of the closed CVS.
Rippeon said in his arrest report that he told Wert that he was detained, but that Wert got up and tried to leave. He was arrested and charged with resisting an officer.
The grandfather said he believes the charge is bogus and asked the city council members to hire an outside investigator to look into why his grandson was accosted, arrested, and then thrown in jail.
"My concern is I have no trust in your police department to do an unbiased investigation," the grandfather told the council. "I am asking you folks to get off the dime, go outside, hire someone to do it."
Edgewater police could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.
The elder Wert said his grandson had never been in trouble with the law, and also asked the council to contact the State Attorney's Office to have the charge against his grandson dropped.
