LAKELAND, Fla. — Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor has requested an FDLE investigation into the December arrest of Antwan Glover that was captured on tape and showed the suspect being shot with a Taser and beaten.

Also, the department has placed three officers on modified duty.

Taylor said the FDLE investigation will be conducted seprately from the department's own administrative review of the incident.

While the FDLE investigation is underway, Sergeant Mark Eby, Detective Dillon Cornn, and Officers Anton Jefferson and Jason McCain will be placed on paid administrative leave.

"I recognize the community has questions surrounding this arrest," Taylor said in a released statement. "And I appreciate the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s willingness to take on this investigation. I am confident in their abilities to review the facts fairly, and the Lakeland Police Department will fully cooperate with any requests made by FDLE."

Video shot by the teen daughter of Antwan Glover showed Glover being tased, then hit in the face several times.

Lakeland police said Glover refused to follow instructions after they pulled him over for not wearing a seatbelt. Glover had marijuana in the car, which he didn’t deny. Spectrum News confirmed he has a medical marijuana license. 

Taylor said he received new information this week about the case.

"A video of that arrest was posted on social media and has since been covered by news outlets," Taylor said in a statement. "When this new information is considered along with the previously known facts of this case, and after consulting with the City Manager Shawn Sherrouse, we have decided it is prudent to place Detective Dillon Cornn and Officers Anton Jefferson and Jason McCain on a modified duty status effective immediately."

Taylor said officers assigned to modified duty status are limited in their contact with the public and are restricted from working extra duty details. The change will remain in effect until the investigation is completed.

Glover spoke at a press conference Thursday, expressing his thoughts on the chief's decision.

“It’s not enough,” said Glover. “They were so quick to bring us up on charges, why can’t they be brought up on charges as well?”

Glover and several local organizations are asking for the officers to be fired and criminally charged.

“The law is crystal clear that an officer can be charged with criminal assault, if they conduct themselves in a manner where they viscously attack someone who did not pose a threat to themselves or other,” Carlos Soto, head of the Black Lives Matter organization in Polk County.  

Members of the community stood with local leaders asking the Lakeland police department to do more than place the officers on modified duty.
