YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA breakdown of the Lakeland, FL incident from Wednesday involving 17-year-old Michael Jerome Taylor and multiple Lakeland officers.
LAKELAND, Fla. (FOX 13) - Lakeland police officers fired shots at a suspected stolen vehicle as its driver tried to flee a packed parking lot early Wednesday morning.
The Lakeland Police Department says it happened in the parking lot of Salem’s Gyros & More restaurant, on East Memorial Boulevard, around 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Officers were called to the restaurant because a large crowd had gathered after the closing of a nearby nightclub.
When officers arrived, one officer spotted a Chevy Camaro which matched the description of one earlier reported stolen to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Multiple officers approached the vehicle. That's when the driver, identified as 17-year-old Michael Jerome Taylor, accelerated the car forward, nearly running over one officer, Officer Markais Neal, and hitting at least two parked vehicles.
"Lots of people in the parking lot, officers began to move toward the vehicle, give the verbal commands," said Lakeland Police Chief Larry Giddens. "The driver of the vehicle noticed the officers approaching. He aggressively began to speed through the parking lot, driving at one of our officers, placing them in fear for their life."
Surveillance video from the restaurant shows the Camaro trying to plow through parked cars and pedestrians in the parking lot.
The Lakeland Police Department said Officer Neal was in fear for his life and fired shots at the vehicle.
LPD says two other officers also fired shots at the Camaro as it accelerated through the parking lot.
