Bizarre Florida

Seat-belt stop snags kidnapping suspect

A seat-belt stop in Palm Bay netted a man who is wanted on kidnapping and carjacking charges in Georgia, according to floridatoday.com..
That wasn’t Travis Lee Brown’s only problem. After the seat-belt stop, Brown, who was a passenger, attempted to flee when an officer spotted a plastic bag in his hand. That caused officers to use a Taser on him.
Police charged Brown with possession of cocaine, possession of a controlled substance (Oxycodone) and resisting arrest. The driver was not charged.
