Orlando police officer leaves traffic stop
An officer of the Orlando Police Department is facing charges of reckless driving and resisting and fleeing from a law enforcement officer after being pulled over by a Seminole County sheriff's deputy.
Shaouni refused to pull over until the deputy was able to catch up to him at a red light, and said "Are you gonna pull over? Pull over,".
Shaouni then got riled up and refused to show his ID to the deputy, according to the arrest report. He then took off with his police lights flashing.
The Orlando Police Department said that they haven't fired Shaouni, but he is relieved of duty pending an investigation.
