Longawaited FDLE report sheds new light on controversial Lakeland arrest

Between January and June of 2023, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) worked to determine if a controversial arrest by Lakeland Police was conducted properly.

This all started after a December 2022 traffic stop for a seat belt violation led a man named Antwan Glover to be tased and taken into custody by Lakeland PD.

He was initially charged with resisting arrest and possession of marijuana.

It’s an incident that Glover said in a recent Instagram post is still taking a toll more than a year later

“It really did something to me mentally,” he said.

A newly released report is shedding light on the investigation that has ultimately cleared the arresting officers—Jason McCain, Anton Jefferson, and Dillon Cornn.

Since his arrest, Glover has disputed police reports that he had marijuana on him illegally and that he resisted arrest.

“I’m telling you I have my medical marijuana license, sir. What is going on here? Why am I on the ground? Why am I getting punched? What is going on? I have my license, both of them. Why am I getting abused?” he said at a January 2023 press conference.
