The accused was asked again for identification or to provide his name and he continued to refuse. When warned he would be arrested for failing to identify, the accused stuck his arms out of the vehicle and told the officer to arrest him.

The accused was arrested at which point he provided a name and date of birth. The accused then started yelling and screaming and swearing, while people were walking by. The officers cautioned him to stop yelling, but he continued. The accused was placed in the back of a cruiser and after checking records officers determined he had provided a false identity.
