PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. — Newly released Putnam County Sheriff’s Office body-worn camera video shows the moments before and after a pipe bomb exploded on a deputy in April.
Action News Jax told you when Charles Legault of Crescent City, was stopped for a traffic violation on Fri., April 5 at the intersection of Moseley Avenue and U.S. 17 in Palatka.
Sgt. Ryan Owens was searching the vehicle when a makeshift “pipe bomb” discharged, releasing a white substance on Owens. It was later determined to be chlorine and brake fluid cleaner.
The video, which is about 16 minutes long, starts with Owens asking Legault, “Whose tag is on this car?”
Legault replies and said it’s his ex-wife’s tag and he sends her money every month. Owens tells Legault that the tag is not registered to the truck.
Owens asks Legault where he was coming from and Legault had to look on his phone to answer that question.

Ha!
Yup. We’re in Fleming Island and have the Clay county Corky Bells just down US-17. Still prefer the Palatka site for both food and ambience. We never venture anywhere in Palatka other than Corky’s.
However, I did not know about the meth problems there. (Willful ignorance I guess. We’ve only lived Fleming Island about 30 years....) :-(
