Florida deputy, sheriff's office accused of aggravated battery in lawsuit by unarmed man shot in 2020

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The man shot by Deputy Bruce Stolk in December 2020 is suing him and the Orange County Sheriff's Office, accusing them of aggravated battery. This comes after charges against the deputy in the shooting were dropped earlier this year.

In addition to aggravated battery, for which the deputy was indicted in 2022, the lawsuit filed last week accuses Stolk and the agency of negligence. The suit claims Stolk shot then-18-year-old Edenilson Urbina despite being unarmed and only suspected of a traffic offense as he was surveilled by undercover deputies.
