Annika Olsen, 24, posted bond earlier Friday morning, and spoke to the media, saying she was never read her Miranda Rights and deputies used excessive force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee County deputies said the lady selling flowers was in violation of a county ordinance, and they arrested Olsen for obstructing traffic while Norma Garcia was arrested for illegally selling merchandise on Imperial Parkway on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, LCSO was investigating Garcia, who had already been warned about selling flowers on the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Olsen still tried to pay Garcia $20 for flowers from her car window while deputies were arresting Garcia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olsen then proceeded to exit her vehicle to hand the money directly to Garcia, creating a traffic hazard, LCSO reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies said Olsen refused to move her car and was arrested for refusing to comply and resisting an officer without violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
