A collier county sheriffs office report written by the arresting deputy-- tells a different story. Explaining the force was necessary because falconi resisted arrest. Lewis says falconi didn't listen to demands to get on the ground-- so he drew his gun, hit falconi in chest and pushed him to the ground. He says falconi continued to struggle-- even putting his hand underneath his torso like he was reaching for something-- so lewis tazed falconi in the back before handcuffing him.

The sheriffs office says they cant discuss the incident because of the pending criminal case against falconi but say the:

One driver tells us since it was so dark in the area--there was no time to react before driving over the debris and going airborne at 70 miles an hour. Amazingly, authorities say no one was hurt. But the all the vehicles involved suffered some damage. Some was minor, with a flat tire. Other cars had damage to the undercarriage. We spoke with the first tow truck driver to arrive on scene. He tells us the one of the drivers described a five foot long cinder block pole he drove over with his ford Taurus.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

MIXED BAG OF WEATHER THIS WEEK

We are now eleven days into February, but you wouldn't know it by stepping outside. A nearly insurmountable area of high pressure continues to send our highs into the low 80s. When you take those 80s and mix in a little sunshine… It feels more like April.

There is no need to worry if you enjoy cooler weather. Everything changes and so too will this warm spell. That high pressure responsible for our above average February will finally weaken, and we will pick up some much needed rainfall and cooler temperatures. Just be patient.

These changes will not occur overnight. In fact the adjustments to our forecast will take several days to be seen and felt.

We'll start it like this - the first half of this week will be great. Mostly sunny skies and temperatures near 84 are expected. The only concern for Tuesday and Wednesday is a chance for dense fog. That could be an imminent threat as you head out the door early in the morning.

Big changes take place Wednesday night into Thursday as a weak front stalls over central Florida. That will keep our skies cloudy and give us a chance for afternoon showers. We're rewarded for going through a gloomy end to the week though. The air behind this front is cool and crisp! Highs Friday through Monday will barely be in the 70s and lows could drop as far down as 39 by Monday.

So the first half of the week will be nice and warm while the last half of the week will be bleak and cooler.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

MIXED BAG OF WEATHER THIS WEEK

We are now eleven days into February, but you wouldn't know it by stepping outside. A nearly insurmountable area of high pressure continues to send our highs into the low 80s. When you take those 80s and mix in a little sunshine… It feels more like April.

There is no need to worry if you enjoy cooler weather. Everything changes and so too will this warm spell. That high pressure responsible for our above average February will finally weaken, and we will pick up some much needed rainfall and cooler temperatures. Just be patient.

These changes will not occur overnight. In fact the adjustments to our forecast will take several days to be seen and felt.

We'll start it like this - the first half of this week will be great. Mostly sunny skies and temperatures near 84 are expected. The only concern for Tuesday and Wednesday is a chance for dense fog. That could be an imminent threat as you head out the door early in the morning.

Big changes take place Wednesday night into Thursday as a weak front stalls over central Florida. That will keep our skies cloudy and give us a chance for afternoon showers. We're rewarded for going through a gloomy end to the week though. The air behind this front is cool and crisp! Highs Friday through Monday will barely be in the 70s and lows could drop as far down as 39 by Monday.

So the first half of the week will be nice and warm while the last half of the week will be bleak and cooler.
