The report states that the driver, Anderson Perrea Rodreguez, was ordered out of the vehicle and was unable to provide law enforcement with a driver’s license.
According to the report, Rodreguez does not have a driver’s license in any U.S. state and was taken into custody by troopers.
Authorities said a sergeant at the scene approached the FHP vehicle that Rodreguez was sitting in at one point and Rodreguez told the sergeant in Spanish, “If you guys don’t let me go, I am going to kill all three of you,” adding that he is a member of a Venezuelan gang.
According to the arrest report, once at the Broward Main Jail, Rodreguez told a Miramar police officer, “I am going to find these two troopers and hurt them. I don’t care if it takes a whole year. I am a gang member and I will find them.”
Jail records show Rodreguez is facing multiple charges, including operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, threatening a law enforcement officer, driving the wrong way down a one-way roadway, failure to wear a seat belt and “rough surfaced wheels prohibit.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, he remained at the Broward Main Jail on a $10,500 bond.
