Uncooperative Van Driver Arrested On I-75

FORT MYERS, FL. -- On 11/29/13 at approximately 4:21 pm, a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper conducted a traffic stop on a white van northbound on I-75 near the 142 mile marker, in Lee Co., FL. and arrested the driver after the driver attempted to roll the window up on the trooper's arm.

The driver of the van, Kevin Shirley, refused to cooperate with the trooper on the traffic stop. Mr. Shirley locked himself inside the van after attempting to roll the window up on the trooper’s arm. After being told he was under arrest, Mr. Shirley still refused to open the vehicle and exit. Troopers broke the windows to gain access to the subject. Mr. Shirley was physically taken into custody without further incident.

Traffic was backed up due to this incident, but continued to flow slowly past the scene. The subject was transported to the Lee Co. Jail. The van was towed from the scene and the scene was cleared at 6:13 pm.
