'Finger In Defiance'

William Joseph Galloway wrecked his pickup after leading deputies on a 115-mph chase and tossing beer cans out the window. So authorities weren't thrilled with the 26-year-old man's next move: swigging beer and giving them the middle finger.

Authorities said he told them "he was going to die fighting and swinging." But a Taser shock ended that threat.

Troopers and St. Johns County deputies said they watched the driver throw beer cans from the truck as it weaved in traffic at high speeds and in heavy rainfall. The pickup then spun off the road and crashed into a tree.

"The suspect rolled down his window and drank from a beer can while displaying his middle finger in defiance," the report said.

When Galloway would not get out of the truck and started to reach for his glove box, a deputy fired a 15-second Taser stun gun burst, the report said.

Galloway told deputies he would have fought them all if he had not been jolted with the Taser, the report said.
