Castellanos was driving south on Congress Avenue in Boca Raton when he allegedly rear-ended a vehicle and did not stop. The victim followed Castellanos to the 600 block of Yamato Road and alerted police.
When Boca Raton police officers arrived, Castellanos moved into a fighting stance and threw a punch that struck the back of his own vehicle, the report said.
Castellanos attempted to run from police but lost his balance and fell before being handcuffed, the report said. A body wrap, which constricts movement, was placed around Castellanos.
Castellanos lists his occupation on the police report as “disabled vet” and listed his business address as “U.S. Marines.”
