Springfield

Traffic violation/complaint

An officer initiated a traffic stop on Interstate 16 around mile marker 148. When the officer asked the man for his license, he looked around his truck but stated that he couldn’t find it in there.

A woman told police that her daughter’s ex-boyfriend came to their door and spoke with her daughter.

She told the man that he was not welcome at their house. She then called dispatch. The ex-boyfriend was not at the door when officers arrived so the mother asked them to check the surrounding area. The officer found him hiding behind the house standing outside the window where the complainant was sitting. The officer asked him to get on the ground several times but he stayed where he was. Then the ex-boyfriend made an aggressive move toward the officer while he lowered his hands to his waist area so the officer used the taser on him.
