Back up. >> Monroe County, Florida. The Florida Keys. March 16th, 2024. A Monroe County Sheriff's deputy spots a vehicle with its passenger side wheel fully off the road, drifting through grass, then swerving back into the lane. He follows. She turns without a signal. He lights up. She doesn't stop. She accelerates and in the rearview mirror, she flips him off. When she finally stops on her terms, not his. She exits the vehicle before anyone asked and walks directly toward the deputy. This is Darla. In the next 40 minutes, she will become her own worst witness. Three violations before the stop even started. Lane departure, failure to signal, speeding. Any one of them is sufficient probable cause. Together they are airtight. >> You are a Nazi. You're a [ __ ] Nazi. Nazi. Why are you getting out of the car? >> Why are you getting out of the car? Step back. >> Step back. Step back. I did not tell you to get out of the car. >> Walk to the back of your car. >> You're going to tase me? >> Walk to the back of your car. >> You're going to tase me?

Now turn around >> and put your hands behind your head. >> Can I get my boyfriend? >> No. Put your hands behind your head. Are you an adult? >> I'm 35 years old. >> Okay, you're an adult.

Why are you squeezing my hands so hard? >> Because you keep not listening to me. Stop. Please. Stop. >> Do you know who's >> Okay. Well, you smell like alcohol, too.

Let me blow. >> Be that as it may. >> You're resisting. >> Can I blow? >> No, not right now. >> I know my rights. >> Okay, fantastic. Well, one of your rights and I suggest you do that right now. >> Can I let my boyfriend know to come pick me up? >> No, he can call him at the jail. Put your feet in. >> I don't know his phone number. My phone's dead. What's your name? >> Darla. >> Darla. I'm John. Okay. I need you to put your feet. >> Look me up and make sure I'm not a criminal. You can't just take me like this. >> I can't actually. >> And a job. Like >> Okay. >> Can we talk? >> Can you put your feet in the car? >> Can we have a talk? My purse is >> Yep. I'll get it. >> Can we have a talk? Please don't take me to jail. >> Are you serious? >> Yes, you're going to jail. Darla, >> can you get all the money out of my my your feet. >> I need my money out of my uh >> I need you to put your feet. >> I got to make bail, bro. Please, can you get my money? >> What happened next? Added a fourth option. She ran from lights and sirens for approximately half a mile under Florida statute 3161935, that is fleeing or eluding, a thirdderee felony carrying up to 5 years. Deputy Lane chose not to charge it for now. When she exited that car and approached him, the deputy drew his taser. He ordered her to turn around and place her hands behind her head. By his own count, he gave that command approximately 20 times. She refused everyone. She told him to shoot her instead. She invoked her three children. She asked if he was going to tase her. She requested her boyfriend. Through all of it, the taser stayed out and the commands continued. This is the moment the case was built. Not on the swerving, not on the halfmile run. Right here, refusing to comply with the taser drawn, Darla handed the deputy everything he needed for the arrest. Florida Statute 843.2 defines resisting an officer without violence as a first-degree misdemeanor. The elements are simple. The officer was performing a lawful duty. The subject knew it, and the subject refused to comply. No physical force required. The refusal alone is enough. Once in handcuffs, Darla kept talking. She offered to blow, then pulled it back as a bargaining chip. She name dropped Sheriff Dennis Warden. She questioned how long the deputy had been on the force. She said he was new. She said she was seventh generation Fidian. None of these are legal defenses. And every name dropped, every statement made was documented, recorded, and preserved on the camera she was standing directly in front of 31. It cuts the offense number. Soon as I try to pull her over, she speeds up, turns down a street without using a turn signal, pulls down the road and keeps speeding up down here, almost hits a key and was driving all off the side of the road. And then as soon as she does stop, she jumps out, starts running towards me. >> Oh [ __ ] >> So, and then I had to tell her like probably 20 times to turn around with my taser out. And then she told me just to shoot her. And uh she smells like alcohol. I don't know if she's drunk. All I could find was one buzz ball. That might be >> I thought well. >> Yeah, but I'm going to test her for DUI at the jail. But for right now, she's going for resisting. I don't think I'm going to do flee in the lude cuz it was kind of short. It was literally like half a mile, but still lights and tires and she didn't slow down. We're here. >> Yeah. Well, when she passed me, she So, I'm I'm driving towards US1 on key deer and she's driving the other way and she was literally her passenger side wheel was completely off the road like in the grass and I'm just driving. I'm like, "Ah, what the fuck?" So, I turn around, I speed up, I get like not too close behind her. She's just still driving off the road, swerves back into it, drives off. I'm like, "Oh, maybe a DUI." So, I turn my camera on, start following for a minute, she starts trying to turn out the side row without uh her blinker on. So then I put my lights and sirens on and then she just like sped away and then stopped here and started screaming for her boyfriend. >> 35 she said. >> Okay. >> Ticket please. I'm a good outstanding citizen. I'm a mother of three. I'm a member of this community. I work for Delro. Like I'm trying to do real estate. Trying to do better with my life. I'm not drunk. I'll blow for you. Like I'm good. It just p it sc You scared me. I'm not gonna lie. Um I've been dating this guy that lives here for about six months. Um yeah, we just got in a fight and I was coming here to get my stuff. >> Okay. And his name is Scott. >> Mhm. >> Scott what? >> Scott Harkness. You can actually come with me to get my stuff. We just got every fight and I'm moving out. >> Okay. Well, your response to all of this was not correct. Well, I'm >> I tried to pull you over way back there when you turned and then you kind of >> up with me and I'm coming to get my stuff. >> Yeah, but when I have my lights on and then I put the siren on, you speed away from me. >> I didn't see you. >> Okay. Well, >> I'm sorry. I had the music up and I'm crying. He just broke up with me at the get gas station. We went to Wind Dig, >> our office. We worked for Kell Williams next to the liquor store. And he was like, "It's over." And I was coming to get your stuff. >> Okay. Well, the thing is your response to everything that just happened, I have to take you to jail. >> Okay. >> Can I at least get my wallet so I can pay to get out of jail? >> Yeah. I'm bringing your purse and your hat and stuff. >> My wallet's in my glove box. >> And your glove box? >> There's a wallet. >> Okay. So, for right now, you're definitely >> at least tell him like to come get me cuz I don't want to walk from QS. >> I thought you guys just broke up. He's going to come pick you up. I'm sure if I'd hope so. >> Okay. So, you smell like alcohol, too. >> I'm going to be stuck in Key West and I'm either going to be walking or I would hope that you would let him know to come pick me up. I would he'll be come pick me up. >> Okay, we'll let him know. >> Okay. >> Can I have my wallet in my glove box? >> Yep. I'll go get it. >> Thanks.

I'll be just going to wait about your time. >> What? >> Go catch a real bad guy. Not like a mother of three trying to bestel. >> You're unreal.

I've traveled the whole world and I could hear hear by the tone of your voice that it's not a low enough octave for you to have the balls that drop to make that many kids. >> You're all dead bird. >> Yeah. Are you going to do a toe? >> Babe. Baby, please. Babe. >> Hello. Is that your girlfriend Darla? >> It is. Okay. So, she's going to go to jail for what? Well, she tried to run from me and then she got out of her car and started coming towards me and I gave her a lot of orders to go back to her car and turn around and she wouldn't do it. >> Copy a suicide threat. >> Okay, I think we're done talking if you don't understand how that's illegal. >> Female four acting very erratic. >> Do you have any other questions? >> Now outside she got inside of a silver tin Florida tag of 33 Bravo Hotel. >> I guess not. You guys did your job, huh? Yeah, she's going to go to Key West jail. >> What would she get pulled over for? >> For a lot of different things and I'll concern you. She's an adult. >> I get that.

It is illegal. >> It's not knocking at the door is not illegal. If I tell you with this badge and these lights on, if I tell you to back away from me and you don't do it, >> there's a crime committed. >> There has to be a crime committed for you to arrest somebody, >> right? >> Okay. >> What suspect?

I'm on a traffic stop. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. Dude, seriously, you're pulling every bit. Dude, what crime did she commit? >> Again, you're not her lawyer.

Like, what was the crime? Like, I I had a driver's license. I have up-to-date insurance.

I'm taking my kids out of school and I'm going north. This is the last straw. You did me a favor probably. >> I hope you show up to court. cannot believe I'm going back here. I should clean it while I'm here. As a matter of fact, give me some bleach. I should have ran in the house when I pulled up. I knew it. But you probably would have shot me. Oh my god. At least tased me. I do the right four or five times. I just toss one bite now. I get my right. >> It's my fault in my eye. >> Yep. >> I've never not been able to talk to a student advisor. Okay, that's not >> It's already You should have done this when you pulled me over on the side of the road. You should have got me to go out and do all that like monkeying around in the road. You should have done that there cuz now I'm stuck here and I can't go. So why would I cooperate with you? >> Okay, so you don't want to do the field soiety exercises? >> I'm already in handcuffs. We're in jail, bud. This is too tight. Come on. >> Yeah, but I don't know if you're DUI or not. >> Take my my breath in my blood. >> That's not how it works. >> Can you undo this? No, not right now. >> A little bit. Can you loosen it up and I'll cooperate with you because it's too tight. Like I'm being fair. Can you be fair with me? Can you meet me in the middle, please? Halfway. >> I checked your handcuffs when I put them on. >> This one is way too tight. Please. Just a little bit. I will work with you, bro. Just a little nudge. Please. Thank you so much, bro. >> If I take the handcuffs off, are you going to do anything? >> Of course. I swear to God, bro. I'm already in jail. Whatever you do, I promise. >> Please. Thanks you.

That's why I had you in handcuffs and I wouldn't loosen them at first because you were just going to do what you just did. >> Come on. >> Okay. Fantastic. So, the one exercise I can do with you is called the uh horizontal gaze nestagmus test where I look at your eyes. Do you want to do that? >> If you loosen these up a little bit, >> this is almost so loose that you can slip your hand out of it. >> Yes. Look at my eyes, please. >> Go ahead. >> Okay. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop pulling away from me. >> Sit down. Sir, here. Okay. So, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to check your eyes. Okay. >> Darla was charged with one felony count of resisting an officer with violence for advancing toward the deputy and requiring physical restraint and one misdemeanor count of resisting without violence for the sustained refusal to comply. Two charges, two separate moments, both on camera. Now the grades Deputy Lane gets a B+. He absorbed 40 minutes of verbal abuse without escalating once. He declined the fleeing felony when the facts were borderline. That's discretion used correctly. He gave Scott multiple exits when the law supported an arrest far earlier. Under Graham versus Connor, officer conduct is evaluated on what was known at the moment, not in hindsight. Every use of force decision in this stop holds up under that standard. Where the grade drops, the lupus complaint was raised repeatedly before the cuffs were adjusted. When a subject discloses a medical condition on camera, response time matters. That's the one area of this stop the department should review. Darla gets a D. She arrived at this stop already in crisis. a breakup, emotional distress, possibly impaired. None of that explains what followed. It contextualizes it. She turned a swerving ticket into a felony arrest. She refused 20 lawful commands. She kept talking when silence was her only remaining asset. She threatened to release the body cam footage that was documenting her own conduct in real time. Florida treats resisting with violence as a thirdderee felony up to 5 years. She handed the deputy a felony and a misdemeanor, both built entirely from decisions she made after the car stopped. The right to remain silent was offered to her directly in plain English by the officer arresting her. She declined it for 30 minutes. On camera, that decision will follow this case into any courtroom it enters. Scott gets a C. He identified the right concern, his girlfriend's rights, and executed it in the worst possible way. Confrontation at an active arrest scene is not advocacy. It is obstruction risk dressed as concern. He came within one exchange of a second arrest. He avoided it because the deputy extended patience he was not legally obligated to extend. The correct move for anyone watching a loved one get arrested is to step back, document from a distance, and call an attorney. The lesson across this entire stop, every person here had a better option available to them at some point. Darla had 20. She didn't take any of them. If you are ever detained, comply first, dispute later. Anything you say to an arresting officer is not a defense. It is evidence. The place to challenge a stop is in a courtroom with a lawyer, not on the side of a road in the Florida Keys. The Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to say nothing. Darla knew it. The deputy told her directly. She waved it voluntarily, continuously, and gave the prosecution a 40-minute recorded statement in the process.

Did Deputy Lane handle this right? Should Scott have been charged? What sentence does this deserve?
