A traffic stop in Lake Wales for tinted windows turned into an angry confrontation between police, deputies, state troopers and as many as 100 bystanders.

Two officers and one of the two people arrested were treated for minor injuries. Police are looking for three others in the incident, which started around 2:45 p.m. Saturday, the Lake Wales Police Department said.

Police gave this account:

An officer pulled over a car driven by Vincent Thomas at C Street and Dr. J.A. Wiltshire Avenue. He noticed Thomas eating marijuana, police said.

The officer attempted to arrest Thomas and he put up a struggle, attracting bystanders who started shouting profanities.

A safety cadet riding with the officer radioed for help and got out to tell the group to stand back. Police said bystander Donovan Gray punched the cadet in the chest.

As Thomas struggled, two passengers in the car grabbed the marijuana and ran off as back-up officers arrived. The crowd grew more agitated as Thomas was arrested, police said.

Gray punched one officer and fought with others as they tried to arrest him, police said. Police fired darts from an electronic stun device into Gray but a bystander yanked loose the darts, enabling him to continue fighting, police said.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers and Polk County Sheriff's deputies responded and helped disperse the crowd. Lake Wales police estimated that 75 to 100 people had gathered.

The confrontation ended about 4 p.m.

Police charged Thomas, 24, of Lake Wales with possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana, tampering with evidence and resisting arrest without violence.

Gray, 21, also of Lake Wales, was charged with battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence, police said.

Authorities are also looking for Charles Hart, 24, Clifford Hart, 24, and Ernest Hampton, 19, all from Lake Wales.

my disagreement with the reason i've been pulled over doesn't put me above the law, and nor does it for anyone else.

the guy in this situation was clearly breaking the law. get over it.

plus...i'm a libertarian - i believe in peaceful non-violent civil disobedience. causing physical harm over a disagreement is just retarded.

You're a fucking moron, weed is illegal, the stupid fuck was eating it, then the other dumbass assaults a police officer, and what, the police should just walk off?

Had the idiot just hid the pot the cop would have probably given him a ticket then left. No incident, nothing.

I've been pulled over plenty by cops, and not once have they given me any problems, probably because I'm respectful and not giving them a reason to taze me. But if I did they'd be the assholes right?

Edit: you don't have to be doing something wrong to be harrased by cops, but god this moron gave them a reason and this certainly can't be an example used agaisnt police.

he had tinted windows.. thats the reason for the initial harassment... had he not harassed this guy over window tint... the weed would have never been found.

of course its not the cops.. cops are perfect, cops always follow the law, cops arent human.. they dont take their bad day out on whom ever they spot they dont like... cops never violate your rights, anyone thats been harassed by the cops deserved it and was doing something wrong. got it...

**Josh** · 11-08-2009, 03:28 PM

people never break the law, people are perfect in every way, and when they are caught breaking the law it's necessary harassment. we got it.

but hey, the next time you get pulled over why don't you throw a punch or two in the name of your cause here and let us know how that turns out?
