According to attorney Jerry Girley the traffic stop was an attempt to “affect an unlawful arrest”. The Orange-Osceola State Attorney’s Office did not pursue formal charges against the teen who was arrested for resisting police without violence and violating probation on a burglary charge. The police claimed there was a gun found but there was no mention of the gun in the police report nor was there any mention of the shooting.
