A driver who was allegedly speeding was mad because he got stopped. He wound up in jail facing a charge of resisting law enforcement.

Dominick Vincent Forgione, 36, Jasonville, is scheduled to be in court in the morning for an initial hearing on a charge of resisting law enforcement – knowingly or intentionally forcibly resisting, a Class A misdemeanor.

Forgione was arrested back on Saturday, May 9, by Jasonville Police Officer Skylar Scott during a traffic stop.

Officer Scott was on patrol on State Road 59 south of Jasonville that night when he saw a speeding red 2005 Cadillac STS passenger car headed south on the highway. He reported he clocked the car going 65 in a 45 mph zone and he initiated a stop.

Forgione allegedly was irate, said the officer didn’t have a reason to stop him, and refused to give the officer his driver’s license or registration. He said the officer could get the information from the license plate. Then Forgione did provide his driver’s license but would not provide his registration.

Officer Scott requested backup and Linton Police Chief Paul Clark and Greene County Deputies Camron Frye and Alan Jackson responded to assist.

Officer Scott said while he was talking to Forgione, he detected the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and after the other officers arrived, Forgione was asked to step out of the vehicle. Forgione allegedly became very angry and was detained. He attempted to pull away several times and attempted to turn instead of placing his hands behind his back.

Officers located a smoking device containing burnt plant material on the center console. There was also a male passenger in the car who had said he didn’t have any marijuana on his person and didn’t know if there was any in the vehicle.

Forgione was booked in around 9:24 p.m. with bond set at $1,500 surety with ten percent cash allowed. He posted $150 and was given a date for his hearing when he was released from jail.
