An expired tag and an outstanding warrant lead to the arrest of a couple in Bronson yesterday afternoon. A Levy County Detective observed a silver Ford truck driven by Sarah Muhammad (2/11/82) who lists a Norfolk, Connecticut address pull into a gas station west of Bronson on SR 24. The Detective observed the passenger exit the vehicle and recognized him as Danny Jackson (11/9/96) of Ocala. The Detective knew Jackson had an outstanding warrant from Marion County for violation of probation and also knew Jackson has a violent history when encountered by law enforcement. And, the Detective discovered the tag attached to the vehicle driven my Ms. Muhammad was expired by several months.
The Detective called for assistance from a patrol deputy to assist before confronting Jackson. The deputy and detective devised a plan and performed a traffic stop away from the store. Ms. Muhammad refused to provide identification and told the deputy “I ain’t giving you s….!” She was immediately detained. Jackson exited the vehicle and aggressively approached deputies while hurling racial slurs at them when he saw Ms. Muhammad being detained.
Mr. Jackson’s aggressive and confrontational behavior toward our deputies prompted a radio call requesting additional deputies be sent to the scene. Apparently Mr. Jackson’s behavior was so bad a passer-by called 911to tell our telecommunicators these deputies needed more help. In all five deputies responded to this scene. Yes it took all of them to gain control of Mr. Jackson who violently resisted arrest.
Mr. Jackson was arrested for the outstanding violation of probation in Marion County. Four additional charges were also filed; resisting arrest with violence, obstruction, breach of peace and assault on a law enforcement officer. His bond was set at $225,000.00. There is a NO Bond on the violation of probation charge.
Ms. Muhammad was charged with resisting arrest without violence and disturbing the peace. Her bond has been set at $2,500.
