Florida man arrested after tossing drugs out of car window, police say

A Florida man was arrested after he tried to dump narcotics out of his car window in Martin County, authorities said.

Tyko Dean, 41, of Oakland Park was pulled over on I-95, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies said Dean pulled his car over initially, but fled when he was asked to leave the vehicle.

With the help of air and K-9 units, Dean’s car was forced to stop. Deputies said Dean tried to toss illegal narcotics out of his car window.

However, detectives said they recovered 359 grams of cocaine and 31 grams of heroin from Dean’s car.

This isn't weird, it happens daily. Every municipality abutting I-95 has their own drug interdiction team out on the expressway racially profiling and pulling over black and hispanic males driving north.



A man Martin deputies identified as Tyko Dean is in handcuffs on the ground.

— September 2013, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper stops Zimmerman along Interstate 95 and issues a warning because the vehicle's tag cover and windows were too darkly tinted.

Window tinting is the go-to reason for stopping people.
