WEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A 40-year-old man was arrested early Thursday after Doral police said he fled into traffic and violently resisted arrest when an officer confronted him for allegedly urinating in public outside a bank, prompting a struggle that escalated when another man allegedly drove a vehicle toward the officer.
According to an arrest report, an officer conducting surveillance at an Exxon gas station near Northwest 87th Avenue and Northwest 17th Street around 12:04 a.m. saw Alex Rodriguez exit the passenger side of a Dodge Charger and begin urinating on the south side of a Wells Fargo bank while nearby businesses remained open.
Police said after identifying himself and ordering Rodriguez to stop, the suspect ignored commands, then ran into traffic when the officer attempted to detain him.
Investigators said Rodriguez struggled with the officer on the roadway, flailing his arms and grabbing at him as traffic came to a stop.
