"This fleeing felon was no match for our deputies," stated Sheriff Carmine Marceno. "Eight arrests later and the outcome is the same...we will continue to take criminals like this off our streets." This morning, deputies observed a vehicle traveling on Many Road in North Fort Myers with no active tag lights for their license plate. Due to the violation, deputies attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle.The driver, Olivier Fevrier Sildor, drove into the nearby Walmart parking lot and threw a backpack outside of the passenger window.Sildor eventually came to a stop but refused to exit the vehicle. When deputies approached the vehicle, he began making furtive movements near his waistband. Sildor refused to comply, ripped his arm away, pulled a black handgun from his hip, and discarded it into a field while fleeing on foot. Deputies deployed their agency-issued Taser, and after several commands, Sildor complied and was subsequently detained. Inside the backpack, deputies found narcotics and drug paraphernalia.Sildor was arrested for Possession of a Weapon or Ammo by a Convicted Felon, Possession of Narcotics with Intent to sell, Tamper with Evidence in a Criminal Proceeding, and Obstruction without Violence. ...
