ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — Newly released video shows what happened as a new Powerball jackpot winner from Kentucky had a run-in with Florida deputies last April.
According to an arrest affidavit, James Farthing, 50, of Georgetown, Kentucky, was at the Island Grand at Tradewinds when he got into a fight with another man on April 29.
Body cam video shows a Pinellas County deputy rushing to separate the two men, restraining the other combatant.

"Are you kidding me?!" the deputy shouts as Tradewinds staff push Farthing away from him.
