At the same time, the Miami Fraternal Order of Police criticized the Florida Highway Patrol trooper who cited Officer Lopez in the Oct. 11 incident, after pulling him over in the southbound lanes of Florida's Turnpike near Hollywood Boulevard. Trooper D.J. Watts followed the officer for 12 miles at speeds reaching 120 mph. The trooper drew her weapon when Lopez finally pulled over, then handcuffed him.
