Clifford Green, 39, died on April 8 shortly after he was pulled over by Monroe County Sheriff's Office Detective Iscandel Perez at mile 98. 5 marker southbound in Key Largo. Perez stopped Green for driving a 1992 Buick Park Avenue with windows the detective deemed tinted too dark. Perez had been traveling northbound at mile marker 100 when he saw the Buick go by and turned around to pull it over. It was around 1:20 p. m. Green, Perez wrote in a report, was "fidgeting about inside of the vehicle" before pulling over at mile marker 98. 5. Perez wrote that a computer check showed Green's license was suspended for failure to pay child support... Meanwhile, Perez searched the outside of the Buick using a K-9 dog and the dog "alerted to the presence of narcotics on the passenger's side front door," the detective wrote.
