LEON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A Tallahassee man is facing multiple charges for threatening deputies and their families after being found with synthetic cannabis.
Theodore Anderson, 18, was arrested by the Leon County Sheriff's Office on Thursday.
At about 6:00 p.m. Thursday, the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Special Projects Investigations Detection Enforcement Response (SPIDER) Unit saw a driver not wearing his seatbelt in the Ridge Road area.
Deputies stopped the vehicle at the intersection of Orange Avenue and South Monroe Street.
Anderson, a passenger in the car, was out on bond for charges of carjacking, drug possession, and resisting arrest.
While conducting an investigation on Anderson and the driver, deputies found a plastic baggie with synthetic cannabis in Anderson’s pocket.
Anderson was handcuffed and placed in the back seat of a patrol vehicle. Once there, Anderson began to spit on the windows, bang his head and kick his feet against the inside walls of the patrol car.
Deputies had to physically force a hobble strap (a device designed to keep legs still) onto Anderson, along with a spit mask.
On the way to the Leon County Detention Facility, Anderson began to threaten the deputies’ families and curse at them.
Once at the detention facility, deputies found another bag of synthetic cannabis packaged for sale in Anderson’s underwear.
Anderson is being held in the Leon County Detention Facility after violating the terms of his release on his previous charges.
He is also facing charges of possession of more than 10 grams of synthetic narcotic, smuggle contraband into detention facility, corruption by threats on public official, and resist arrest without violence.
