On December 4, 2024, shortly after 9:00 a.m., Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to make a traffic stop on a black vehicle at Cypress Gardens Blvd SE and 4th Ct SE in Winter Haven.
Meghan Petty, Polk County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer advised the black car was pulled over with two flat tires. The vehicle make and model is unknown at this time.
Deputies restrained him after an apparent struggle. Witnesses reported that a man came to a screeching halt in his vehicle then jumped out of his car screaming. As the deputies were attempting to restrain the man, a witness reported that a passerby who was nearby heard the chaos, and assisted with the arrest.
