U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Bongiovi was pulled over for speeding. She refused to fully lower her window, provide license/registration/insurance, or exit the vehicle despite repeated orders, repeatedly demanding a supervisor and questioning the stop.

After warnings, deputies smashed her driver's side window with a baton, unlocked the door, forcibly removed her, and arrested her.

Charges included DUI, resisting an officer without violence, and failure to obey lawful orders.

Happened February of last year

quote:

The incident took place on 25 February 2025 and ended in a physical confrontation with deputies from the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office. The arrest was captured on video and is now circulating online.

Background: Who is the driver?

The driver has been identified as Lieutenant Colonel Michelle Bongiovi, aged 59. She serves as a periodontist with the 1st Special Operations Medical Group at Hurlburt Field. Bongiovi holds a senior medical role within the US Air Force, attached to one of its most elite units.

The Traffic Stop

According to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, Bongiovi’s vehicle was initially clocked travelling at 73 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone along Highway 98. A deputy gave chase and reportedly reached speeds above 80 mph to catch up. The vehicle continued through a construction zone where the speed limit had dropped to 40 mph before eventually pulling over near Tiger Point Park.

The deputy reported that Bongiovi cracked her window slightly but refused to provide her driver’s licence or vehicle registration. She repeatedly asked to speak to a supervisor and declined to exit the vehicle when ordered. After multiple warnings, the deputy broke the window using a baton, unlocked the door, and forcibly removed her from the SUV before placing her under arrest.

Arrest and Charges

Bongiovi was taken to Santa Rosa County Jail and held under a military hold before being released the following day. The arresting deputy noted that she had watery eyes, dilated pupils, and made unusual statements, leading to concerns she may have been under the influence.

She is currently facing the following charges:

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Resisting an Officer Without Violence
Failure to Obey a Lawful Order
Refusal to Accept a Citation
The Incident on Video

The arrest was captured on bodycam and published on YouTube. The footage shows the confrontation in full, including the moment deputies smash the driver’s window and remove Bongiovi from the vehicle as she struggles.

Watch the video below.

Online reaction has been divided, with some defending the deputies’ actions as appropriate and others criticising the level of force used.

Air Force Response

A spokesperson from the 1st Special Operations Wing confirmed the arrest and issued a short statement:

“We are aware of the arrest involving Lt. Col. Bongiovi. The Air Force holds all personnel to the highest standards of conduct and does not tolerate illegal activity. We are cooperating fully with local law enforcement.”

No further information has been provided about whether Bongiovi remains on active duty or if an internal investigation is underway.

What Happens Next?

Bongiovi’s case is expected to proceed through the Santa Rosa County court system. No trial date has yet been announced. In addition to possible legal consequences, she could face disciplinary action under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Her status as a licensed medical professional could also come under review depending on the case outcome.

The arrest of a senior military medical officer has raised questions around accountability, police conduct, and the consequences of impaired driving. As the case unfolds, both civilian and military systems will determine what penalties, if any, Bongiovi will face.

For now, the video of the arrest has become the focal point of public debate, and the outcome of the case will likely draw continued attention from both the military community and the wider public.

She was disciplined on base, but apparently not much happened to her. In civilian court, most charges were dropped. She went to pre-trial diversion on 1. and she will have a clean record once she completes diversion.

She is a dentist.

She gives Michelles a bad name
If she thought she was getting out of that ticket she was living on a prayer
It’s her life
That prison cell mattress didn’t feel like a bed of roses
She wasn’t drunk, just took some bad medicine

I have yet to see a video where this behavior allowed someone to leave a stop problem free. Why do these entitled folks continue to act this way, and what do they think a supervisor will do any different from the original officer, especially since the supervisor is probably on the third bullshite “I demand a supervisor” call of the night.

She got her wrist lightly slapped, then moved on spotless.

It’s like some kind of badge of honor for these people to do this these days.

I hate this.

I got hit by a drunk driver with my son in the van with me in Memorial Day 2017/2018… drunk, a hummer towing a boat, fought FOUR cops, had a gun and didn’t have his insurance paperwork… he got a diversion program- I was pissed.

frick diversion programs for drunk assholes that not only drive drunk, but speed and fight cops.

Well that is one way to torch your entire military career. Truth be told 9 out of 10 times officers provide a lot of leniency to you if you are in uniform. Had she been cooperative and nice odds are they let her go, follow her home, or have someone come get her without any action. Even if they pull her and she is legally drunk than take your lick, you did it ,and hold yourself accountable. At her age they probably let her retire quietly without further action. Now she is UCMJ fricked and she did it to herself. When I was stationed at Ft. Rucker the Post Commander came on post, was pulled over by MPs, blew well over the legal limit, and was charged. He tried to put pressure on the PFC that did the stop and she said nope and her reason was that we make no exceptions for anyone especially for someone who has a duty driver assigned to him 24/7. They let him retire quietly. I just don't understand how some of these senior officers know when they are off post that their authority really doesn't matter.
