Credit: Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office 22-year-old Trevor Gardner has been arrested after deputies say he tried to flee during a traffic stop on several motorcyclists. Deputies say the stop was initiated after complaints from residents about speeding motorcycles in the area and multiple sound complaints. According to CCSO, deputies noticed a gathering of motorcyclists and proceeded to conduct a traffic stop. Two motorcyclists obeyed the signal to pull over while Gardner ignored them and took off. Upon being interviewed by deputies, Gardner replied, “I plead the Fifth,” whenever a question was presented. Gardner has been charged with fleeing to elude law enforcement.
