Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Early this morning, Jared Matthew Hale, 42, and Lauren Lee Langlois, 38, found themselves under arrest after reportedly dialing 911 during a situation involving deputies who were instructing them to exit their car.

At approximately 2:21 a.m. on June 28, Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a report of a suspicious car at the Circle K located at 7501 W. Newberry Road. The deputies observed Hale and Langlois inside a vehicle lacking a valid tag, and they allegedly discarded cigarette ashes onto the ground, thus violating Florida’s litter regulations. It was noted by a deputy that the car’s registration had expired a year prior.

Deputies approached the vehicle, explained the littering infraction, and requested the occupants to exit the car for safety reasons. Hale reportedly insisted he was fine where he was, as he believed no laws had been broken, and both occupants refused to leave the vehicle. In response, the deputies repositioned their patrol car, with the lights activated, behind the car without registration.

Hale was ordered to get out of the vehicle and walk back to the patrol vehicle, and the deputies reported that they again explained that refusing to comply with a lawful order could result in an arrest for resisting an officer without violence.

The pair allegedly continued to refuse orders to get out of the vehicle, arguing that they had done nothing wrong. After they were told they were under arrest, they still allegedly refused to get out of the vehicle.

During this time, Hale allegedly told Langlois to call 911, and she did, although they were verbally warned against calling 911 because there was no emergency. The call-taker reportedly heard both Hale and Langlois on the call, and Hale reportedly told the call-taker there were multiple law enforcement officers telling them to get out of the car, but they were scared and had done nothing wrong; the call-taker told them to get out of the vehicle.

Hale and Langlois reportedly refused to get out of the vehicle for about nine minutes, which led to a large law enforcement response, with additional patrol vehicles arriving. The pair eventually got out of the vehicle and were arrested.

Post Miranda, Hale reportedly said he did not understand his rights and said he had done nothing wrong. He reportedly later said he was “scared” and that he hadn’t slept in three days. He also reportedly told EMS personnel that he had told Langlois to call 911.

Post Miranda, Langlois reportedly declined to say anything.

Hale and Langlois, who are listed as homeless on their arrest reports, have been charged with resisting an officer without violence and the unauthorized use of 911 services, and they were issued written warnings for littering. They have no local criminal history, and Judge Jonathan Ramsey ordered them released on their own recognizance.

Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
