Deputies with the Hills- borough County Sheriff’s Of- fice were monitoring a mostly peaceful protest on June 2, near the Race Trac, 1722 James L. Redman Parkway in Plant City. They came into contact with Osvaldo “Ozzy” Banda, 21, when he intentionally tried to injure law enforcement officers on scene by throwing bottles at them from the crowd.
Following the incident, Banda retreated back into the crowd of protesters in an attempt to hide from deputies. Banda was also wearing a face-covering at the time.
Deputies were able to lo- cate Banda, and for the pro- tection of others, including protesters, fired one round of less-lethal ammunition as he ran away from the site of the protests.
After later identifying Banda as the suspect, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office contacted Banda to
