Florida's greatest love affair...

with Tasers.

Duane Linscott had a pretty impressive record of things that he did in what was supposed to be a routine traffic stop. Rather than try to be poetic, I'm going to list them in hopes that the asinine nature of the situation will speak for itself.

Linscott:

• prematurely braked, in hopes that the officer would hit him, thus slowing down the pursuit and allowing him to escape;
• sideswiped a minivan in an apartment complex before jumping from his moving 1994 Isuzu;
  
• allowed said Isuzu to crash into a tree;
  
• punched, kicked, and pushed the officer before stealing his Taser;
• and was booked for "assault with a deadly weapon (the truck, not the Taser), aggravated fleeing to elude, three charges of battery on an officer, depriving an officer of means of protection, three counts of obstructing or opposing an officer with violence, leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and driving with a suspended license."

Wow. That's all I've got. I'll actually give this a HOORAY SEFFNER, because I feel they've earned it as a city.
