MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Miami Beach Officers drew their weapons during a tense traffic stop with a man, officials said, who was an out-of-state fugitive.
Miami Beach Police Officers conducted the traffic stop near the intersection of Ninth Street and Collins Avenue, Tuesday evening.
According to police, they received an alert from a license plate reader for an out-of-state fugitive. They tracked down the car to that intersection and intervened.
Video shows the officers begin moving in.
“Come out with your hands out. Do it now!” said the officer.
Initially, the officers seemed unsure if anyone else was in the dark colored sedan.
The police drone could be seen overhead as it provided a clearer view of the car.
After the aerial sweep of the car, officers got the all clear and moved in to detain 31-year-old Rodney Bruton.
According to police, he was arrested for possession of cannabis.
After a search of Bruton’s car, officials found three credit cards, new clothing and 24 fake driver’s licenses among other items.
Video shows at least three officers with their guns aimed at Bruton as he is being handcuffed and loudly wondering what it was for.
“Why am I being cuffed is what I am asking you. What the [expletive] is the problem?” said Bruton.
He was transported to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center where is awaiting extradition.
