Carlos DeSoto, of The Rules was arrested friday night / saturday morning after a gig at Crooked Bayou. He was asked to move his car from a closed street while we was attempting to load up his gear after the show was over. Officer Peter Linnenkamp asked him to move his car, and gave him a hard time about being there… even though Carlos and other musicians have been doing this for years in down town Orlando, and other officers allow it. Carlos however did comply with the officer’s wishes, and moved his vehicle as instructed. When he returned he asked for the officer’s name… that’s when Officer Peter Linnenkamp flew off the handle, roughed off Carlos, and arressted him. Officer Peter Linnenkamp is known for his violent out bursts, has been investigated before for unnecessary force, and for being trigger-happy with his Taser Gun. Luckily he didn’t tase Carlos, who was bruised and verbally abused during his arrest.
