During a Safe Shopper patrol, a Deputy conducted a traffic stop for a moving violation. The driver immediately exited the vehicle and became increasingly uncooperative. During the encounter, the situation escalated when the driver resisted attempts to detain him, resulting in a brief struggle. During the struggle, the driver attempted to discard narcotics, but the Deputy observed the attempt and recovered the evidence. The encounter resulted in the driver’s arrest for narcotics possession in large quantities and resisting arrest.
Safe Shopper is about more than preventing theft. Our deputies remain proactive, vigilant, and committed to keeping our community safe!
