Undersheriff Pat Ivey held a press conference on Thursday, announcing the arrest of 26-year-old police officer Akinyemi Borisade for battery. Borisade was with the force for a year and still within his 18-month probationary period, meaning he could be sacked on the spot.
Ivey said Borisade had an unblemished record up until this point. He also told the media that the situation should have been dealt with differently, as officers are trained to do.
Shes handcuffed. There are ways that this could have been dealt with without striking her, he said.

According to investigators, the incident took place at the Duval County Jail late in the afternoon. Mayra Martinez, transported to the jail by Borisade and awaiting booking on a trespassing arrest, kicked out at Borisade twice, arousing his attention. He then moved over to her and repeatedly struck her. Three other officers and a community service officer (in the yellow polo) look on, as well as a fellow arrestee; the incident goes on for some time until another officer intervenes. Following the incident, Martinez slumps to the ground.
While the officers at the scene did not act quickly, the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office claims that other employees moved quickly to effect the arrest. During a press conference which can be seen below, Undersheriff Pat Ivey reported that JSO Corrections officers informed superiors upon viewing the security footage, and Borisade was fired and arrested within 24 hours.
