A Tampa Police Officer on foot patrol got a scare early Thursday morning during what seemed to be a routine traffic stop for speeding according to an article published on TBO.com. According to reports the officer observed a Pontiac driving about 15 M.P.H. over the posted speed limit. The officer noticed the windows of the vehicle were down and called for the driver to pull over. At that point 20-year-old Jovenson Emile is accused of attempting to hit a second officer with his car.
Emile was allegedly driving 40 M.P.H. in a 25 M.P.H. zone. At that point an officer attempted to have the 20-year-old pull over. Instead police reports say that Emile swerved his vehicle aggressively towards a second officer. He then took off running a stop sign and heading south on Oregon Avenue. Emile attempted to avoid police by hiding his car in a dark parking lot.He has been charged with aggravated assault on a Law Enforcement Officer.
