Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Refuses Orders During Traffic Stop | Bodycam Arrest

Описание: On January 13, 2026, what began as a routine traffic stop in Tiger Point, Florida quickly escalated into a tense and controversial confrontation caught entirely on police bodycam.

Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Bongiovi, a United States Air Force periodontist, for speeding in a construction zone. What officers expected to be a standard investigation instead turned into prolonged defiance, repeated refusals to comply, and a standoff that would ultimately end with a shattered car window and an arrest on the roadside.

Throughout the encounter, Lt. Col. Bongiovi declined to roll her window down, refused to provide identification, and repeatedly demanded to see a supervisor and view radar evidence. As deputies attempted to de-escalate the situation, the stop intensified, drawing additional units and leading to a physical removal from the vehicle.

This full bodycam breakdown documents the complete timeline of events — from the initial stop to the arrest and booking — raising serious questions about compliance, authority, and how quickly routine encounters can spiral when communication breaks down.

Lt. Col. Bongiovi was later booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail and faced multiple charges, including resisting an officer without violence and failure to obey a lawful order. The United States Air Force has since confirmed cooperation with local authorities as the legal process continues.
