<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFredy Hildalgo-Villatoro, 30, has now been placed on an ICE hold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was at around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday evening when deputies spotted Hildago-Villatoro driving in the northbound lane on Chestnut Road in Lakeland in a gray 2012 Nissan Juke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputies pulled Hildago-Villatoro over for a traffic stop and asked for his name. He told them it was Regino and gave them a false birthday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deputy ordered him out of his car once she knew he was lying, and when he refused she attempted to unlock his door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said Hildago-Villatoro then tried to drive away, dragging the deputy a couple of feet in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other deputies responded to the scene and found Hildago-Villatoro’s abandoned car and tracked him at the residence of 617 Chestnut Road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was found by K-9 Zorak. Hildago-Villatoro then tried kicking the dog several times before deputies were able to secure him in handcuffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hildago-Villatoro was charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer (LEO), battery on LEO, battery on police canine, resisting with violence, resisting without violence, tampering with evidence, fleeing to elude, false name to LEO and driving without a license. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
