Deputies Arrest Fleeing Wanted Suspect
Our office continues to receive multiple complaints regarding solicitors impeding traffic or becoming aggressive with drivers on the roadway.
In response to these concerns, a deputy observed a solicitor in the area of Broadway St and Gulf Fwy earlier today.
As the deputy made contact and began a field interview, the individual suddenly fled on foot. The deputy pursued and successfully detained the solicitor without incident or injury to either party.
Further investigation revealed that the individual had an open warrant. The Assistant District Attorney was contacted and accepted charges for Evading Arrest (on foot).
We appreciate the community’s continued support in helping us keep our roads safe. Please continue to report any suspicious or unsafe behavior.
