Man Suing Sheriff's Office For Wrongful Arrest

A Central Florida man said confusion over the state's gun laws landed him in jail and said he's suing the Orange County Sheriff's Office for wrongful arrest.

Bill Scallon was arrested in the Holden Heights area in October during a traffic stop. Scallon said he voluntarily told the deputy that he had a gun and also where he kept it.

However, the deputy arrested him claiming Scallon was breaking the law even though four deputies at the scene couldn't agree on the issue.

"Then they kind of contradicted each other. One cop said it has to be in the glove box. I said there's no lock. The one cop says that's okay. The other said you can't use it," said Scallon.

Scallon's case was thrown out of court. The Orange-Osceola State Attorneys Office threw out at least 38 concealed firearms charges because of insufficient evidence in 2007.
