A routine call about a stolen vehicle on a Florida campus ended in pepper spray, handcuffs and a court case that only became public knowledge a year and a half later.
Bodycam footage of a University of Central Florida student's arrest in February 2025 has gone viral after being released and shared online in mid-July 2026. The footage shows a confrontation between campus police and 27-year-old that escalated after Vick, who is transgender, objected to being referred to with what she said were the wrong pronouns. The video has sparked sharply divided coverage, with some outlets casting the encounter as a student's meltdown and others arguing the framing itself misrepresents what happened.
