Man Scolds Officers for “Not Doing Their Job”

According to the police report, on Sept. 5, police were responding to a medical call and on the way there a man failed to stop for a stop sign, which prompted officers to continue following the driver to further observe his driving.

The officers got a few blocks before the driver of the car stopped his car in the middle of the road and yelled to the cops “can I ask why you’re running my plate?” The responding officer asked if something was wrong, to which the driver again responded “yes, you’re running my plate and I want to know why.”

The officer then advised the man to pull over because he ran a stop sign, the driver then yelled out “I did not run an f-ing stop sign.”

As police approached the vehicle they noticed the driver had his left hand out the window but kept dropping his right shoulder in order to reach under his seat as though he was looking for something. The driver rolled all of his windows up but was still able to hear police commands.

Police cautioned themselves as they neared the vehicle advising the man to put his hands on the steering wheel, the driver kept his windows rolled up but replied back “why? Do you think I have a gun?” then began laughing, and then said “I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you!” to the police.

Officers identified the man as Travis Agnew, 35, of Ellwood.

Police again advised the diver that he was being stopped due to his failure to stop at a stop sign, he again rebutted the claim and said “I did not run a f-ing stop sign and I want to know what gives you the right to run my plate.” Police informed him that he committed a traffic offense and they have the right to run his registration.

Agnew started going on about how he has a problem with the police because “they don’t do their jobs” and he wanted to know why officers were driving slowly by his residence and looking at his house. The officer said that there were recent criminal mischief complains on his particular street and they were just patrolling.

Agnew then said that “police don’t do s- and need to start arresting people.”

The officer gave Agnew a traffic citation, however Agnew refused to sign it and said to officer “let me tell you how the court works, I’m going to plead not guilty and the judge will decide to see my side of the story, not yours.”

The officer agreed that he can plead his case.
