| MAN TRIES TO RUN OVER COP ON SCOOTER |
|
WENGNews writes, "A VENICE MAN WAS ARRESTED MONDAY AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY TRIED TO RUN OVER A SARASOTA COUNTY DEPUTY WITH A MOTORIZED SCOOTER. DEPUTIES INVESTIGATED A COMPLAINT THAT 41 YEAR OLD KEVIN KOVALSKY WAS THREATENING TO BURN DOWN THE HOUSE IN THE 100 BLOCK OF KENWOOD AVENUE IN NOKOMIS. DEPUTIES RECOGNIZED KOVALSKY WHEN THEY SAW HIM AND KNEW HE WAS DRIVING WITHOUT A VALID LICENSE, SO THEY TRIED TO STOP HIM, BUT HE SPED OFF. DEPUTIES LOST SIGHT OF HIM AS THEY GOT TO A HOME ON AQUILLA STREET, BUT AS THE DEPUTY GOT OUT OF HIS PATROL CAR, KOVALSKY SPED TOWARDS HIM AT SPEEDS ESTIMATED BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE DEPUTY REACHED OUT AND KNOCKED KOVALSKY OFF OF THE SCOOTER, BUT HE WOULD NOT GO QUIETLY AS THE TWO SCUFFLED A COUPLE OF TIMES. FINALLY HE WAS TACKLED AND ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH BATTERY ON A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENSE, AND RESISTING ARREST WITH VIOLENCE. HE IS BEING HELD WITHOUT BOND IN THE SARASOTA COUNTY JAIL. "
