On Wednesday, two Lee County deputies pulled over Emmanual Rivera, 32, on Alabama Road and Arthur Avenue for driving without a seatbelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Conlin and Deputy James went up to Rivera\u2019s car, each going to opposite sides of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Conlin told Rivera why he was being pulled over and asked for his information. It was found that Rivera had been driving with a suspended license, according to a report from the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conlin went back to the car and asked Rivera to get out of the vehicle. Rivera allegedly refused and tried to turn the car back on. Deputy James, who had opened the passenger side door, tried to take Rivera\u2019s keys out of the ignition to get him to stop but Rivera allegedly drove off with James still in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James ordered Rivera to stop several times while trying to grab the steering wheel because Rivera was trying to drive into oncoming traffic and off the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivera allegedly kept refusing to stop the car and said he had to get home. James ultimately ripped the key out of the ignition to stop the car. After the car stopped, Rivera got out and ran away into a residential community on Hamilton Court, according to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
