Former Miami-Dade deputy acquitted of domestic violence battery charge after trial, court records show

Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that a jury found former Deputy Jordan Aristide not guilty of the domestic violence battery charge following a trial.

A now-former Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office deputy who was previously arrested on a domestic violence battery charge involving his brother has been acquitted by a jury, according to court records.

Jordan Aristide, 26, had been arrested in North Miami in connection with the case, according to authorities.

Aristide and the victim live together, according to the arrest report.

Authorities said that shortly before 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 29, 2025, the alleged victim began recording Aristide changing the front door lock at their residence on Northwest 127th Street.

Aristide then allegedly charged at his brother, grabbed him by the neck and forced him to the ground, according to the report. Once on the ground, Aristide punched and kicked the victim, who sustained minor bruising and a small laceration to the right side of the neck.

Witnesses intervened before police arrived, according to the report.

Aristide was taken into custody, processed at the North Miami Police Department and transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGK), but the case later proceeded to trial.

Court records show that a jury ultimately found Aristide not guilty of the charge in February of 2026.
