I OBSERVED A TWO DOOR GOLD CHEVY VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE OF NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON TO WEST LEMON STREET. THIS DEPUTY OBSERVED THE VEHICLE PROCEED THROUGH THE TURN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I TURNED ONTO WEST LEMON STREET AND BEGAN TO FOLLOW THE VEHICLE. I THEN OBSERVED THE VEHICLE DRIVING AT approximately FIFTY MILES PER HOUR ALONG THE LENGTH OF LEMON STREET. AS THE VEHICLE TURNED ONTO NORTH HARRISON STREET, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION AND only SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TURN. I THEN TURNED ONTO NORTH HARRISON STREET AND ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO PERFORM A TRAFFIC STOP on THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE MADE A LEFT TURN ONTO ESSKAY STREET AND PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH JACKSON STREET. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DRIVER WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR JOSHUA COPNING. THE DEFENDANT WAS IMMEDIATELY ARGUMENTATIVE AND WANTED TO KNOW WHY HE HAD BEEN PULLED OVER. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS DRIVING TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS AND FAILED TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER LICENSE AND REGISTRATION WHICH HE THEN PROVIDED. I WROTE THE DEFENDANT A CITATION FOR DRIVING TO FAST FOR CONDITIONS AND FAILURE TO USE DUE CARE ON FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 0895-ELU. I RETURNED TO THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT HE WAS BEING CITED FOR DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO FAST FOR CONDITIONS AND FAILURE TO USE DUE CARE AND THAT HE NEEDED TO SIGN THE TRAFFIC CITATION. THE DEFENDANT WAS ARGUMENTATIVE AND REFUSED TO SIGN THE CITATION. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WOULD BE ARRESTED IF HE REFUSED TO SIGN THE CITATION HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO ARGUE WITH THIS DEPUTY AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES THE DEFENDANT DID SIGN THE CITATION. UPON GIVING THE DEFENDANT HIS COPY OF THE CITATION, THE DEFENDANT REACHED OUT WITH HIS RIGHT HAND AND AS HE GRABBED THE CITATION HE ALSO GRABBED A HOLD OF THIS DEPUTY'S MIDDLE, RING, AND PINKIE FINGER OF MY RIGHT HAND. THE DEFENDANT THEN PULLED THIS DEPUTY'S HAND INTO THE VEHICLE. I PULLED MY HAND FREE and I ORDERED THE DRIVER OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DEPUTY ALONG WITH DEPUTY A CANFIELD WHO HAD JUST ARRIVED ON SCENE STRUGGLED BRIEFLY WITH THE DEFENDANT BEFORE HE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO THE MALE PASSENGER. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT*
