🚨 Lake Wales Traffic Stop Explodes into Violence 🚨

On August 31, 2025, what began as a routine stop for speeding turned into a dangerous confrontation.

Police pulled over 36-year-old Marlon Arrindell for driving 30+ mph over the limit. When officers learned his license was suspended, they moved to make an arrest. Instead, Arrindell fought back.

🐾 K-9 Bolo was deployed to assist, but Arrindell leapt back into his vehicle and fled, dragging both the officer and the dog in the process.

He was later found after attempting to climb a barbed-wire fence, suffering a serious leg injury.

Arrindell now faces multiple charges, including:

Driving While License Suspended

Fleeing to Elude

Aggravated Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer

Resisting with Violence

Injuring a Police Canine

Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon

✅ Update: Both the officer and K-9 Bolo have been released from medical care and are recovering at home.
