Police Report:
“On 03/27/21 I observed a multi colored pickup truck traveling eastbound on Tamiami Trl. in the right lane with a left front headlight inoperable.

Once behind the pickup truck I observed the rear right tail light and tag light inoperable. A traffic stop was conducted on the multi colored Ford pickup truck where we came to a final stop at Tamiami Trl. and Pan American blvd.

Upon approaching the vehicle, contact was made with the driver, white male, bald head and blue eyes. I asked for driver’s license, registration and insurance card, when he asked me what the problem was. I advised him of the inoperable lights on his vehicle and asked for his driver’s license, registration and insurance card. The driver, advised he did not have the paperwork to the truck because it wasn’t his vehicle. I returned to my patrol vehicle where it was learned that the above listed pickup trucks registration expired on 03/31/2011 out of Texas with no insurance on file. I approached the vehicle again to speak with Robert, asking him if he had registration and insurance documents to the truck and he advised he did not have them, that it was not his truck and that Texas does not register plates. Due to traffic and placement of the vehicle on the roadway, I asked Robert to step out of his vehicle to speak with me, at which point Robert began to progressively become enraged with anger, asking me if he was under arrest. I advised Robert that he was not and asked him to step out of his vehicle again. Robert eventually exited his vehicle, where he continued to scream and clench his fists, not allowing me to explain or speak to him about the vehicle. Robert became so angry at one point, he said to me I would have to taser him or even shoot him.

I called for routine backup and the next tow truck available, due to the lack of insurance and expired registration.

Upon Talon Towing arriving on scene, Robert walked in front of his truck and behind the two trucks, preventing the driver from backing up to his truck. Once the tow truck driver exited his vehicle, Robert screamed “nope, i don't think so”. Robert eventually was convinced to move to the sidewalk.

Robert refused to hand over his keys to the vehicle, so it was towed without keys.

Robert was issued a citation for no motor vehicle insurance and expired registration more than 6 months. Upon attempting to explain to Robert, all the necessary information on his citations, he refused to listen and continued to be extremely verbally argumentative and hostile towards officers. I explained to Robert that failure to sign a criminal citation, in which requires a court date, is an arrest-able offense. Robert stated he wasn’t signing the ticket, that he didn't have to and then picked up his phone and dialed 911. Myself, Officer Rodriguez, Officer McMenamin and his trainee Office Kelly were standing in front of him, while he was on the phone. I asked my dispatch, via radio, if Robert dialed 911 and if a call taker was speaking with him on a recorded line. North Port Police dispatcher advised they were on a 911 line with Robert, who was stating he was being harassed. At the time of his 911 call there were no actual emergencies.

Robert was advised to hang up the phone and that he was now being placed under arrest for refusal to sign a criminal citation and misuse of 911.

Upon first attempting to place Robert in custody, he actively resisted but pulling away and clenching his fists, making his way towards a heavily traffic roadway. Myself, Officer McMenamin and Officer Kelly took control of Robert and assisted him to the ground. Robert continued to actively resist, by putting his hands under his torso.

Robert was placed into custody, in double locking handcuffs, and placed into the rear of my patrol vehicle.”
