DESIRE MCPHERSON

     A Tampa woman walking on Interstate 275 with her dog, named Duke, was arrested Friday after resisting a state trooper while being cited, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

     According to police, while troopers were preparing the citation, 23-year-old Desire McPherson walked away and refused to listen to troopers. She was detained and taken to the ground by a trooper after she became aggressive and continued to resist.

     McPherson told troopers she was unaware that it was illegal to walk on the intestate.

     Troopers decided to issue McPherson a citation, recognizing her from a previous incident when she was warned for walking on the interstate.

     McPherson faces charges of disobeying law enforcement and resisting an officer without violence.
