WATCH: Florida man attempts to flee during arrest, officer catches him by handcuff chain
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — Body camera footage from March 30 shows a Florida man attempting to flee while being placed in handcuffs before an officer found a bag of marijuana hidden in his pocket.
An officer pulled Jaiden Carwise, 18, over after he ran a red light. The officer discovered he had also violated his probation, according to the Daytona Beach Police Department.
The officer placed Carwise in handcuffs and asked him what was in his pocket, according to footage.
He attempted to flee, but the officer grabbed him by the handcuffs and arm, leading to a struggle before Carwise fell to the ground. The officer saw that Carwise held over 20 grams of marijuana behind his back.
“You can’t work with me, bro?” Carwise said.
“If I was going to work with you, it was before you did all of that,” the officer said. “Once you’re in handcuffs you can’t do that.”
Carwise was also charged with obstructing an officer without violence and possession of cannabis.
