Trenton Futrell (Longview Police Department).
A man from Texas was stopped by the police for driving 10 mph over the speed limit and was subsequently arrested for verbally attacking the officer who pulled him over.
The incident occurred on April 18 in Longview, a city located about 130 miles east of Dallas. After being stopped by a Longview Police officer, the driver, Trenton Futrell, parked in his driveway and immediately became aggressive, as captured on the officer’s body camera video obtained by Law&Crime.

“You gonna block the road?,” Futrell said. “My wife’s gonna be home in a minute.”
The cop asked for his driver’s license.
“Is that a reasonable thing for you to do, blocking the road?” Futrell responded.
When the officer noted Futrell pulled out a credit card and not his ID, things devolved from there.
“Well, you got f—ing eyes, so you can see yourself in the f—ing road, can’t you?” Futrell said.
The cop tells Futrell to “calm down,” but the upset driver wasn’t having it.
“Motherf—er, you’re standing on my goddamn property,” Futrell shouted. “I do whatever the f— I want here, son.”
Sensing the situation could get worse, the officer called for backup. Futrell took out his ID but refused to surrender his driver’s license, escalating the confrontation further.

“Take it from me then, boy, if you’re that f—ing badass about it,” Futrell exclaimed.
Futrell continued to harp on the fact that the cop was blocking his driveway and would not hand over his license or registration information. He insisted he wasn’t required to give the cop the items, just merely show it to him.
The officer told him he needed to have the information so he could run it through his system. Futrell just became angrier.
“Figure it the f— out, you f—ing bald-headed little b—h,” Futrell yelled.
“Can you hand it to me,” the officer asked.
“No! Did I f—ing say I was gonna hand it to you the first f—ing time?” Futrell shouted, now drawing closer to the officer’s face. “No, I didn’t. Well then what the f— is wrong with your goddamn hearing, boy? When I said ‘no’ the first f—ing time, you must rape a lot of f—ing women, boy, because you don’t know what the f– no means, do you boy?”
Eventually, a second officer comes on scene. The officers give Futrell a speeding ticket and take him into custody for resisting arrest. He seems flabbergasted that he’s being arrested, despite his tirade and lack of cooperation.
“What’s the warrant for, fellas?” he said.
As the officers were putting the handcuffed Futrell into the police cruiser he asks the cop if his mother taught him “any manners or are you just as dumb as your goddamn daddy was?”
The officer just slams the door.
Futrell went to jail and later posted bond. Court records show he is slated to go on trial next month.
