News2Share filmed as Lee County Sheriff's Officers held a man they haven't yet identified after tasing him around 5pm Tuesday evening in Bonita Springs, Florida.
He was treated by EMS, but the department says they're now holding him on an ICE detainer.
He is accused of biking past a stop sign without stopping, and then not pulling over when officers turned on lights and sirens.
Asked to give a statement or provide footage to police, residents of a nearby home refused.
A witness to the beginning of the scene, Jose Sanchez, provided video taken on his phone showing officers tasing the unidentified man and arresting him.
After the arrest, the Lee County Sheriff's Office promptly published the bodycam footage along with the following statement, copy/pasted in full below, explaining that the man crossed a stop sign on his bicycle without stopping, and is now on an ICE detainer:
"On Tuesday at approximately 5:00 p.m., 4th Precinct deputies were proactively patrolling the area of Shangri Road and Tropic Acres Drive in response to recent community concerns about drivers disregarding the stop sign.
During the patrol, deputies attempted to stop a male bicyclist who rode through the stop sign without stopping.
The bicyclist disregarded deputies’ lights and sirens and continued riding, at one point looking back at deputies as he fled. The man eventually stopped, got off his bike and began running. Deputies deployed a Taser, stopping him.
The man was arrested for obstruction. He was also found to be unlawfully present in the United States, and federal partners placed an ICE detainer on him.
We commend our 4th Precinct deputies for taking a proactive approach within their precinct and for their continued commitment to addressing concerns brought forward by residents. Their willingness to be visible, engaged and responsive in the neighborhoods they serve is an important part of effective community policing and helps ensure that quality-of-life concerns are not overlooked.
Thank you to our 4th Precinct deputies for staying proactive, listening to our residents and working to keep our community safe."
