LAKE WALES, FLORIDA – A traffic stop on Sunday morning escalated into a violent confrontation, leading to the arrest of a Dundee man after he injured a Lake Wales police officer and the officer’s K9 partner.
The incident began just before 8:00 a.m. on US Highway 27 when a Lake Wales police officer attempted to pull over a vehicle for traveling more than 30 miles per hour over the speed limit. The driver, identified as 36-year-old Marlon Arrindell of Dundee, initially fled but eventually stopped at the Chevron gas station located at 900 W. Highway 60.
According to police, when the officer attempted to arrest Arrindell, a physical struggle ensued. The officer then deployed his K9 partner, Bolo, to assist. Arrindell managed to get back into his vehicle and sped away, dragging both the officer and K9 Bolo through the parking lot.
Arrindell was located by other officers about a mile west on East Bay Blvd. and again fled on foot. He was quickly taken into custody after sustaining injuries while attempting to climb a barbed-wire fence.
Both the officer and K9 Bolo received medical treatment for their injuries.
Arrindell faces multiple charges, including Driving While License Suspended, Fleeing to Elude, Aggravated Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting an Officer with Violence, Injuring a Police Canine, and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.
