On Wednesday a routine traffic stop was attempted by MCSO/FPD Narcotics unit when the driver refused to pull over and fled. A vehicle that was occupied by three subjects drove through a construction zone at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was pursued by law enforcement and entered school property and then continued to drive off road and through a local golf course that sent golfers fleeing. Once the driver entered Golf View Drive a detective with the MCSO attempted to utilize “Stop Sticks” to disable the fleeing vehicle. To avoid the stop sticks the vehicle made an abrupt left hand turn into a local residence yard and collided with a tree. The driver of the vehicle exited the vehicle and attempted to run but was quickly subdued by a MCSO Detective. Two other occupants of the vehicle were also detained.
