MANATEE — A former state representative was arrested this week after he reportedly refused to tell Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputies where his son was after a hit-and-run crash, according to an arrest report.

Mark G. Flanagan, a former Republican state representative, was arrested on a charge of resisting without violence Monday at his residence in the 1300 block of 91st Street Court Northwest.

A deputy went to Flanagan’s home Monday to find Flanagan’s son, Kevin, whose cell phone was found at the scene of a hit-and-run crash on Sunday next to a crashed vehicle, according to the report.

Flanagan told the deputy he knew where his son was, but refused to tell the deputy where. snip

After Flanagan refused to cooperate, the deputy began to arrest him.

Flanagan reportedly refused to place his hands behind his back and began screaming for his wife to help him.

1. At least he was with his wife and not a prostitute (male or female).

THIS time, at least.

2. What's illegal about that?

His son needs time to sober up, I bet.

3. I always wondered what resisting without resistance was. Now what is a "criminal registrant felony"?

4. bullshit

So you have to rat out your own family or be arrested?

He should not have answered the cop truthfully. He should have said he did not know where he was.

I know that is what I will do for MY family.

5. If your child injured or killed someone in a hit and run

accident you're going to lie about his/here whereabouts to the cops?

Isn't that a crime?

6. Fail.

so aiding and abetting a person who hits or kills someone is a good thing?

Nice family values you have there.

I'll make sure I steer clear of your home if I'm in your neck of the woods.
