The incident involved her recording the arrest of two undocumented individuals, verbally confronting officers, and becoming physically aggressive after her vehicle was impounded when she attempted to drive away. Cruz punched an officer, resisted arrest, and was tasered, with footage of her resisting shared on social media. She faces up to 20 years in prison, a potential $250,000 fine, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/paul-pelosi-hammer-trial-david-depape-found-guilty-in-attack-on-nancy-pelosis-husband\/\" title=\"Paul Pelosi hammer trial: David DePape found guilty in attack on Nancy Pelosi&#039;s husband\">additional state charges<\/a>.

They determined that two people in the vehicle they\u2019d stopped were illegal aliens.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz happened along, and, apparently inspired by leftist agitators in sanctuary states like Minnesota and Illinois, she decided to get involved.<\/p>\n<p>She started recording the incident with her phone as she drove by. Then she stopped and continued recording while yelling at the arresting officers.<\/p>\n<p>A trooper approached her, telling her he was fine with her recording, but to refrain from doing so while driving. She proceeded to pull out her leftist playbook, asking this officer if he supported Nazis, \u201cwhich she clarified as referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,\u201d according to the U.S. attorney\u2019s release.<\/p>\n<p>She also asked him not to shoot her in the face \u2014 an obvious reference to 37-year-old Rennee Good, who had been shot days earlier while trying to ram an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer with her car in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during immigration operations in that city. Good quickly became a martyr of the left as a supposedly innocent mother who was murdered.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida trooper asked Cruz for her driver\u2019s license. She told him she didn\u2019t have hers with her, but that she had a picture of it on her phone. The officer conducted a records check and discovered her license had been suspended the previous June.<\/p>\n<p>The trooper called a tow truck to impound her vehicle, but Cruz attempted to drive away.\u00a0Multiple law enforcement officers followed her and boxed in her vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>When the trooper ordered her to get out and surrender her keys, Cruz became combative, telling him she was \u201cready to go\u201d \u2014 as in \u201cready to fight.<\/p>\n<p>As the officers tried to take her keys, Cruz punched one of them in the face. More punching and kicking followed as she was put in the back of a squad car under arrest. They even tried tasing her, \u201cwhich did not subdue her,\u201d according to the news release.<\/p>\n<p>Footage of Cruz going absolutely ballistic made its way to social media platform X.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMostly Peaceful\u201d reporter Julio Rosas posted the clip after Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier had posted a still-frame image of Cruz, sporting a truly demented expression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>WARNING: The following video contains vulgar language that some may find offensive.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">EXCLUSIVE: I\u2019ve obtained video showing Jennifer Cruz kicking officers as she was put into a squad car after being arrested.

She\u2019s very gratified to get back to her family and her business and attend to both of those important responsibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WJXT reported that the judge asked Cruz why she should remain free pending her sentencing. She replied, \u201cThis is a horrible incident. It won\u2019t happen again. You won\u2019t see me again.
