Cop reportsBy Times staff reports © St. Petersburg Times, published March 19, 2001 Passer-by helps officer handcuff womanDADE CITY -- A Pasco County sheriff's deputy had to enlist the help of a passer-by to get a woman resisting arrest in handcuffs on Friday. After a short car chase, Deputy Rafthel Morales-Santos had to chase Frieda French when she walked away from her car. Morales-Santos wrote in his report that French looked drunk and when he grabbed her wrist to walk her back to his car, she said she was pregnant and not to touch her. Morales-Santos wrote that French tried several times to pull away, shove him and kept him from putting handcuffs on her. Away from his car, with no radio, Morales-Santos asked a passer-by to first get his radio so he could call for help, then asked him to help him get handcuffs on French. Morales-Santos took French to Pasco Medical Center when she complained that her stomach hurt. A doctor there said she wasn't pregnant and gave Morales-Santos medical approval to take her to jail. French was charged with fleeing police, resisting arrest and driving on a suspended license. She was being held Sunday evening on $5,750 bail. Woman arrested after boyfriend's accusationsSPRING HILL -- A Spring Hill man told Pasco County sheriff's deputies on Saturday that his girlfriend tried to run him over twice in a car he's paying for. Dave Warner, 38, 14726 Elmont Ave., told deputies that he was walking home Saturday night when Earlene Nevers, 59, 14735 Elmont, came driving by in a gold 1988 Nissan Pulsar. Warner said he knew Nevers had been drinking, so he called the Sheriff's Office. Later, outside a friend's house, Warner told deputies Nevers drove by again, turning at him so that he had to jump out of the way to keep from being hit. He said Nevers then turned around and came at him again. When deputies found Nevers, she told them she drove from Publix to her home and stopped. Deputies wrote in their report that Nevers was "extremely intoxicated." Nevers was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault and taken to the Land O'Lakes jail. She was released Sunday afternoon on $2,500 bail.
