LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- A Cape Coral man made it easy for officers to find him when he handed an officer his driver's license before speeding off from a traffic stop.
30-year-old Vincent Parlato is charged with Flee and Eluding Law Enforcement and Resisting Law Enforcement Without Violence.
According to Cape Coral Police, in the early morning hours of February 10th, an officer witnessed a black Mustang making a U-turn at high speed, causing the tires to spin out. The officer followed the car, which hit 60 miles per hour in a 45-mph speed zone, and performed a traffic stop at the intersection of Santa Barbara Boulevard and Trafalgar Parkway.
Body cam video shows that the driver was argumentative with the officer, who insisted that he was just going to get a warning for the offense. Parlato reluctantly handed his driver's license to the officer, then drove off at high speed.
They were unable to locate Parlato that night, but did meet with him at his home on February 18th and took him into custody without incident.
