Because you think you can do that to me? >> Nope. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. >> Just choke my son. Please. Please stop. >> Just stop. >> Oh, she can get one count of battery, >> one count of resist, and one count of corruption by threat. >> This body cam caught from Palm Beach County, Florida, where what began as a routine traffic stop quickly escalated into a serious arrest. The incident highlights how behavior, not just driving, can dramatically change the outcome of a police encounter. >> Hi. >> How you doing? >> I am so sorry. Like I'm just trying to go back to my hotel and I know I was speeding. I'm so sorry. >> You got your driver license, registration proof, and insurance? Oh, thank goodness for Christmas. >> Where you coming from? >> Huh? >> I was at an Airbnb where my son is at. He plays football. So, I'm here. >> So, we're here for his seven on seven football team. >> Okay. >> And I came from where they're staying and I'm going back to my place. >> Okay. You have your driver license, registration, insurance? >> I do, but I think it's in the back. >> In the back where? Put the windows down for me. >> The window is down. >> The back windows. Put all the windows down. >> Shoot. >> Where in the back is it? >> I mean, oh my god. I hope I didn't leave it at the house. Can I get out and look? Or >> You don't know where it is? >> I thought it was here, but it is not. Oh, here it is. I'm sorry. Here it is. It fell on the floor. Oh my god. Please. Like um I just want to get back to my Airbnb. >> Well, how much have you had to drink tonight? >> I did have a glass of wine. I'm not going to lie. >> You need a glass of wine? >> I did? Yes. Now, >> how long ago was that? >> An hour ago. >> Deputies clocked the driver, later identified as 46-year-old Christina Lab Boy, traveling at speeds exceeding 100 mph. Excessive speed alone is a major safety concern and grounds for an immediate traffic stop. When deputies made initial contact, Lab Boy appeared nervous but cooperative. She admitted to drinking wine earlier in the evening, prompting officers to evaluate whether impairment was present. >> All right, we're going to go right up here. >> Oh my god. Okay. >> Right to the front of your car. Just step up there for me. Trying to face me. >> Where? >> Right here. Step right there. Right. Trying to face me. All right. What I'm going to ask you to do is to perform some field satiety exercises. Okay. >> Okay. >> I want to make sure that you're safe to drive. >> That's fine. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, what I need you to do is put your feet together. Arms down to your side. All right. And the only thing I need you to do right now. All right. Look at me. Keep your head straight. >> Okay. I look Okay. >> All right. Just keep your head straight and follow the pin with your eyes only. There you go. >> Right here. >> I'm sorry. Like I like really see it. Like >> Say it again. >> I said I can see it. Like I just can't like really follow it. But I'm >> Okay. Do you have any issues with your eyes? I have contacts in. >> You have contacts in? >> Yes. >> But your eyes are fine. You don't have any other issues. >> No, I don't. But like sometimes it's like hard to follow. Like But I can follow it. >> Officers assessed the situation using standard DUI indicators. Based on their observations at the time, deputies determined there was not sufficient evidence to make a DUI arrest. >> All right, go ahead. You can begin the task if you understand it or you don't have any questions. >> No, I got it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 nine. Turn around. Right. >> All right. Come up here a little bit. Down the line. All right. So, here's the deal. Is there someone that can come pick you up? Um, >> you have someone that can pick you up? >> My son can. >> Your son can pick you up? Yeah. >> He hasn't been drinking tonight? >> No. My gosh, no. >> Okay. At this point, deputies were prepared to issue a citation rather than make an arrest. A common outcome when impairment cannot be legally established. Um, he called me up. You see? >> Hello. >> Hey. Um, where about are you? >> I'm really really close by your room. >> Okay. So, listen. I got pulled over. Um, and they're not going to let me drive. So, if you can like come where I'm at. I know. It's so crazy. Like, it's so ridiculous. >> Uh, yeah. I mean, are you going to be able to send me your location? >> Um, I was trying to send it to you earlier and I I couldn't figure out how to send it to you. >> You're on Forest Hill Boulevard and 441. Just south of the intersection. >> Forest Hill Boulevard >> and 441 >> and 441. >> Just south of the intersection. just south of the intersection. If that means anything to you, I don't know. >> Is there like Can I like pull in like at least like somewhere? No. Okay. >> Uh, >> huh? >> You're jamming. >> I'm sorry. What did you say? >> I said you're jamming. >> Yeah. I don't know. Like, it's it's so ridiculous. Um, >> okay. Can you turn that down though? Tell me where. >> So, let me hold I'll text you the address. Hold on one second. So, what is it? >> Forest Hill Boulevard. >> Wait, hold on. >> Forest Hill Boulevard. Uh-huh. >> And US 441 >> and Oh, I've been hearing that. 441. >> Did your friend live here? >> Yeah. >> All right. She's right in front of the Wellington Mall >> on 441. I don't know if you heard him. >> I I kind of let him. >> Okay. >> When deputies reapproached the vehicle, the boy's demeanor changed dramatically. What had been a routine interaction quickly became confrontational. >> You've got indicators of impairment, but not enough for me to arrest you and take you to Gun Club. Okay. So, I'm going to I'm going to let you slide tonight. You're going to go home. >> You're not letting me slide. Like like >> you are you're not getting arrested. You're not getting a ticket >> because there's like you just said there's not enough for you to do that. >> There's enough for me to tell you not to drive your vehicle. >> And I'm not going to drive it. That's why I called my son. >> That's why I said we're letting you slide. We're not taking not letting me slide. >> I'm not arresting you. >> Because you don't have enough. That's what you're saying. Like it doesn't make sense. >> Ma'am, why are you still arguing with me? I'm just telling you. >> I'm not arguing with you. I'm not arguing with you. >> You just said I'm letting her know that there's not a lot enough for me to let you take you to jail. >> Take him to jail. >> That's so disrespectful on so many levels. You don't know my background for you to say that to him. It is for you to say that to me. You don't know my background. You don't know his background. >> First of all, I wasn't talking to you. >> I don't care. You're talking to my partner. Let's get that first fact. Second of all, when he says you should have wrote you a bunch of Don't let me get my phone sit down in the car. Let me get my phone. No. Don't disrespect me. Because you think you can do that to me? No. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. >> All right. Just have a seat in your car until you ride to get here. >> No. But you're going to keep talking, right? >> Le boy began making inflammatory and offensive statements directed at deputies and others. Officers avoided engaging with the content of the remarks and focused instead on deescalation and control of the scene. >> Don't disrespect me. I did not disrespect you. Don't Don't you dare disrespect me. No, I did not. No argue. >> No idea. Oh, now you want to be quiet, right? Yep. Uh-huh. I'm going to tell you what. You don't know who I am. And but you're about to find out. It's funny. Now, now you're recording. You're You're going to be quiet cuz you told me I don't know your background.

She has no idea who the we are. But anyway, just get your ass here because this will be taken care of after you pick me up. But I I'm so sick ofing racism and this she was literally in my face and she's like, "You don't know me." And I'm like, it's funny how she was talking, putting her fingers in my face, and now she was on want to say like, "No, I didn't. Stuff stupid dumb." Are you coming or not? >> Yes. >> But I mean, seriously, like, is his grandfather bringing you? >> Yes, my mom. >> Yeah, I have I have your license. >> For [ __ ] that want to check everything cuz like, you know, you're you're sorry, you're American in America, dumb [ __ ] Want to talk [ __ ] to me, you little [ __ ] Deputies repeatedly attempted to count the situation, giving clear verbal commands and warnings. Deescalation is always preferred when possible. Even during highly emotional encounters, the encounter crossed a legal threshold when Le Boy physically struck a deputy. At that moment, the situation escalated from a traffic stop to a violent offense. >> Funny you're keeping your mouth shut cuz you're recording. I know you're recording me, but did you get her talking [ __ ] to me? That little [ __ ] I'll [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] on you, littleing douchebag. >> All right. And that's scared. Put >> No, listen.

I have nothing on. >> Stop, Christian. >> No, you need to stop. Like, I did not do anything, >> but you're being [ __ ] racist. Like, just stop and leave me alone. >> Good. >> Yep. >> All right, come on back here. >> Yeah, that's control that you have that you can do that. Just give me my phone. Where's my phone?

Like, no, you can harass me, though. That's okay. >> Sit down. >> No, but you can harass me. I have a broken leg. Don't you dare. >> So, sit down. Don't you dare. >> That broke her leg. >> Don't you dare. >> She's going in the car. >> Listen. Stop in the bathroom. >> Stop kicking you. >> I didn't kick you. I did not kick you. >> I sit back. >> No. >> Let me stop. You said You said I could talk to my son. Let me talk to my son. >> Talk to your son when you stop. >> No, you told me. >> Put it this way. Let him seat belt so you could be safe in the car. >> You told me I could talk to my son. >> He said as soon as you sit down in your secure, >> right? No, he didn't say that. >> Let go of the seat belt. >> Let me talk to my son. >> Let go of the seat belt. >> Let me talk to my son. >> Once physical contact occurred, deputies were legally justified in taking Le Boy into custody. Battery on a law enforcement officer is a serious charge under Florida law. >> You need to stop harassing me. Let me talk to my son. >> Put your foot in the car. Just let me talk to my son. That's all I'm asking. >> Put your foot Put your foot in the car. >> All I'm asking you. >> I told you I would. But you don't want to put your foot in the car. >> You need to You need to loosen these. No. You need to loosen this. >> Nope. You're This is hurting. >> This is hurting. This is hurting my arms.

LOOSEN IT. >> LOOK AWAY FROM ME. SO, loosen it. Back up. No. Loosen it now. >> I tried to loosen it first and she kept pulling away. >> Oh, she can get one count of battery, >> one count of resist, and one count of corruption by threat. >> Speeding, alcohol use, and aggressive behavior create a dangerous combination. Most importantly, physical resistance or assault instantly changes the legal outcome of any police stop. And after the police confirmed that the female suspect was in the car, Christina Laboy, she was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence.
