A man was recently arrested and racked up 13 charges in Palm Beach County after giving deputies a traffic stop that ended with a scene straight out of Hollywood.
Two Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies were pulling the man over for being stopped past the line at an intersection and blocking traffic when he lit up a drug pipe right in front of the officers. That may sound crazy, but that was only the beginning of the chaotic traffic stop.
The man, identified as Walter Kobersky, ran over the foot of one of the deputies and then pinned both of them between two cars. Ultimately, a third deputy arrived to assist, and that's when Kobersky, with one wrist in a handcuff, fought all three deputies for several minutes, leaving them all with injuries.
