The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that 37-year-old Melvin Stubbs of Homestead was originally arrested and charged with cocaine trafficking and resisting arrest after he was found with more than 40 grams of cocaine during a traffic stop.
Stubbs, who had a warrant out for his arrest for violating probation stemming from cocaine sales, initially tried to run away and struggled with officers until one used a Taser and placed the 37-year-old in custody.
When he was placed in the back of the patrol car, Stubbs began kicking the passenger side of the vehicle with his week, according to police.
An officer then noticed that a "large piece" of the back seat of the patrol car had been "chewed off and/or eaten," causing at least $1,000 in damage, the sheriff's office said.
