A driver was punched in the face after he complimented another driver’s car, says the Polk County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO).
According to the PCSO, at around 5:45 p.m. on Sunday, the driver was heading west on Tindel Camp Road approaching the scenic highway in the Dundee/Lake Wells area. Traveling in front of the driver, was John Sturgeon who suddenly stopped his vehicle, approached the driver, and allegedly punched him in his face.
Deputies asked the victim what might’ve provoked the attack, to which the victim said he waved his hand and told Sturgeon, 53, he had a nice car.
Video captured from the victim’s car shows a black Dodge Charger stopped in the middle of the road. Yelling and cursing can also be heard in the video.
“I’m trying to tell you nice car bro! I like your car!” the victim can be heard saying. The video continues to show Sturgeon in a red tank top and gray shorts angrily walking to his car. Sturgeon then speeds away.
Through investigative means, deputies were able to identify Sturgeon and traveled to his home in Terranova, Winter Haven. PCSO says he was not there when deputies arrived at the scene.
If anyone has any information about Sturgeon’s whereabouts they are asked to contact PCSO at 863-298-6200.
