According to 7News Miami, Kerley was concerned about his car, which was parked near the scene of a police investigation, and refused to leave when asked by officers.
Police said he became increasingly aggressive and refused to leave when asked by officers.
Despite attempts to de-escalate the situation, Kerley assumed a fighting stance and ignored lawful commands, leading to his resistance during the arrest, according to police.
Emergency backup was called, and a dart-firing stun gun was deployed to subdue Kerley, who was subsequently taken into custody without further incident.
Kerley faces charges of battery on a police officer, corrections officer, or firefighter, resisting an officer without violence and disorderly conduct.
