When authorities pulled over Melvin Floyd in Alabama last Sunday, they found a badly beaten man in the trunk of the car he was driving.
Before Melvin Floyd allegedly stuffed Lyndon Baines Smith in the trunk of the victim's own car and drove him from BridgeMill to Alabama, authorities said he kicked him repeatedly until Smith lost consciousness.

But it doesn't explain what led Floyd to attack Smith, stuff him in the trunk of the…
