A parent who dropped a student off outside Sawgrass Springs Middle School—but did so in a no-stopping zone—wound up in jail after fleeing a traffic stop, court records show.
The infraction by Kevin Halsall, 51, of Miramar, was spotted by a Coral Springs Police motorcycle officer doing traffic enforcement outside the school on Oct. 6, at 12500 W. Sample Rd., according to an arrest affidavit filed by the police department.
Halsall, who does not have a valid driver’s license, said he would pull over when the traffic officer approached him on foot, police said. Instead, Halsall drove off as the officer gave chase on his motorcycle, court records show.
After reaching a dead-end near 3200 Sportsplex Drive, he exited his car, and police ordered him to lay on the ground, police said.
After being treated for a medical issue, he was arrested and taken to the Broward Main Jail.
