It was just past 12:30 p.m. last Thursday afternoon at a gas station on State Road 200 where Nassau County deputies surrounded a red Toyota Prius driven by Divine McLeod, 28.

Moments prior to the interaction, a woman called 911 and said that McLeod cut her off in traffic on Interstate 95 then pulled up next to her, pointed a gun at her and verbally threatened to shoot her. Video obtained by News4JAX showed deputies ordering McLeod to get out of the car.

“Where’s the person at? You cannot say someone called you and come up. I’m on my way to somewhere else right now. Way far away,” he said.

“Get out of the car,” a deputy responded, but McLeod refused, the video showed.

After ignoring the deputy’s commands, the situation turned violent when they pulled him out of the car and slammed him to the ground.

A deputy then asked about a bag that was tied around Mcleod’s waist. Deputies said they later found two loaded handguns inside.
