The mother of a teenager who was tased by an Florida Highway Patrol trooper last week has hired an attorney to help fight the arrest she says happened because of racial profiling. Sixteen-year-old Jack Rodeman was arrested by Trooper George Smyrnios on June 16 and is currently being held at the Juvenile Assessment Center for 21 days. Jack was walking to his girlfriend’s home on Indian Laurel Way when he was followed by Smyrnios who, according to the arrest report, described Jack as a suspicious person.
