Authorities say sheriff's deputy in northeast Florida is in the hospital with a broken leg after a traffic stop led to a fight.
The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office reports that Deputy Lyman Hall tried to pull over 30-year-old Irick Bob Miguel Barfield, who was traveling 90 mph in a 45 mph zone early Thursday.
Sheriff's office spokesman Chuck Mulligan tells the St. Augustine Record that Barfield failed to pull over when Hall attempted to stop the vehicle.
Hall pursued, and when Barfield stopped, he tried to enter a house through the front door.
Mulligan says a fight broke out, and Hall's leg was slammed in the door. Hall's injuries are ``significant'' but not life-threatening.
Barfield was arrested Thursday evening and faces multiple charges. He was being held on $22,500 bail.
