Deputies located the vehicle a short time later in the Target parking lot at 4450 Park Street North. They identified the driver as Fatima Stallion and observed her behind the wheel of the vehicle.

A records check confirmed Stallion’s Florida driver’s license had been suspended since September 5, 2018, due to failure to pay a traffic citation.

After being detained and placed in the back of a patrol vehicle, Stallion admitted she was aware her license was suspended and that she did not possess a valid driver’s license.

During the arrest process, Stallion resisted by tensing her body and pulling away while deputies attempted to secure handcuffs, according to arrest documentation. She ignored multiple verbal commands before eventually being restrained.
