Florida man 'detains black teen riding bike to basketball practice'

A man was jailed for illegally detaining a Black teenager. Newsweek recently reported that the incident occurred on June 9, 2020 in Hillsborough County, Florida.

During the early morning hours, the Black teen, who has yet to be identified, was on his way to basketball practice when he was stopped by Luis Santos, who was driving in a car.

At some point, Santos, 54, asked the Black teen, who was on his bike, to give him his address twice. Santos, who recorded the incident on his cell phone, told the teen, “You’re not going anywhere. You’re being detained,” while reaching for his pocket as if he had a gun.
