The Alachua County Sheriff is investigating why an armored vehicle pulled over a driver who allegedly flipped them the bird.
Deputy Charles Drake wrote in a report that he and his colleagues spotted the driver extending a hand gesture toward them this weekend. The deputy also alleges he saw a woman performing a sex act on the driver.
The 23-year-old driver Lucas Jewell recorded the stop on his cellphone. He told them the woman's head was on his lap because she was sleeping.
Jewell says he was issued a warning. He also said one of the deputies punched him, but the deputy's report doesn't mention that.
Sheriff's spokesman Art Forgey told the Ocala Star-Banner they'd just seen the cell phone video Monday and were investigating whether deputies violated any directives.
The armored vehicle was on its way to the University of Florida to patrol the Orange & Blue Debut football game and is not a routine traffic patrol vehicle.
