A Florida cop slapped the cuffs on a drunken dude -- because the guy slapped him after getting a free ride to his motel.
Rodney Timothy Shaw showed up at a fire station, boozed up and belligerent, and said he wanted to be taken to his sister's house. A dispatcher summoned cops to the station and they agreed to drive the man to his destination, but his sister refused to allow him inside. Shaw then asked for a ride to a motel about eight miles away, and the officer went along with the plan.
When they arrived at the motel, Shaw got out, then turned and let loose with some profanity before slapping the cop and attempting to walk away, laughing. He found it less amusing when he was taken to the county jail and charged with battery on a police officer -- a third-degree felony.
