For some reason, the off duty deputy working security during Knight Library’s St. Patrick’s Day Block Party ordered Worton to leave. Worton reportedly refused to obey the order and instead cursed at the deputy.
Things apparently went even more downhill when the deputy put his hands on Worton’s arm, and Worton tried to swing at the deputy — but missed, according to the paper.
Worton reportedly ran away and then hid underneath a car until the deputies found him and asked him to come out. When he got up, deputies tried to cuff Worton, but he reportedly punched the deputy in the face with a closed fist.
He was booked on charges of Battery On a Law Enforcement Officer and Resisting an Officer With Violence. Read the full story in the Orlando Sentinel.
