Defendant was stopped for a traffic offense, and when the officer approached, defendant said \u201cWhy the f*** are you stopping me?\u201d, and he started to get out of the car. The officer did not like his aggressive tone, and the officer tried to keep defendant in the car. Defendant succeeded in getting the door open and knocking the officer down. The officer Maced him as he ran off. This was an abandonment of the car, which was lawfully impounded and inventoried. United States v. Jefferson, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 105628 (N.D. Ga. May 25, 2010).*<\/p>\n

Iowa June 4, 2010).*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
