ST. JOHN’S COUNTY, Fla. — The St. John’s County Sheriff’s Office released body camera video showing the arrest of a suspect wanted by INTERPOL.
Dash camera and body camera footage shows the suspect pulling into a parking lot and stopping his vehicle during a Dec. 4 traffic stop. A St. John’s County deputy then approached his open window and asked if he had his ID or a photo of it. The man then appeared to type something on his phone.

“You come back here with me, my man, and I’m just going to get all your information while you’re back here with me,” the deputy said.
The suspect then hit the gas and drove away from the stop. Video initially shows him driving the wrong way into interstate traffic, but he eventually turned around and continued to flee.
Dash cam footage shows deputies performing a PIT maneuver, causing the suspect vehicle to crash into a barrier in the median.
The man then got out of the vehicle, crossed the interstate and ran into a wooded area as officers pursued him on foot. Body camera shows an officer running after the man, learning over the radio that the suspect had stolen a van.
Video from the St. John’s Sheriff’s Air Unit shows the van weaving through traffic before turning to flee alongside railroad tracks.
As officers in cruisers tracked down the man, he can be seen abandoning the stolen van on the railroad tracks and fleeing into the woods.
The suspect was arrested about three hours later after an air unit tracked his location and a K-9 was deployed. The suspect was listed as an armed and dangerous INTERPOL fugitive with a warrant out of the Bahamas for aggravated robbery, according to the release. He also had warrants in Florida for possession of meth and resisting law enforcement.
He was charged in the St. John’s County incident for fleeing and eluding law enforcement, grand theft motor vehicle and possession of marijuana.
