Brother-in-law’s grandson is one of those people. Because he has a birth defect 
that affected one hand and some fingers so the military wouldn’t take him. He 
went to a private flying school, got his tickets, and now flies drones for the 
military as a contractor.

If nobody's chasing them, the perps don't go that fast, either.

At 150+ MPH in an SUV they are burning gas quickly. Even if they managed to 
maintain control, and the tires and the rest of the car held up, they would be 
out of gas in 30 minutes or so.

Not really, there are folks in the US flying drones in Afghanistan after all.

Wouldn't be practical for small cities but for big ones it makes a lot of sense.

They need to deploy surveillance drones on these fleeing vehicles rather
than chase them with surface vehicles. No reason they cannot tube launch a
fixed wing drone quickly from the cop car and follow at a distance to avoid
either the perps or the cops killing bystanders inadvertantly.

[MBZ] 178 in a SUV down I-95

2022-05-07 Thread mitch--- via Mercedes

AMG 63?

And yes, Florida Man is responsible.

MARTIN COUNTY — A high-speed pursuit through six counties came to an 
abrupt end on Interstate 95 after the vehicle with two people inside ran 
over a spike strip and a sheriff's K9 found one of them in the woods.


It all happened Monday night around 8.

Richard St. Leger, 20, of Pompano Beach, faces charges of grand theft of 
a motor vehicle, fleeing with disregard of safety to persons or property 
and resisting arrest without violence, according to his arrest 
affidavit.


Davonte Martin, 27, of Boynton Beach, faces a charge of trespass of a 
structure or conveyance, the affidavit lists.


Deputies said St. Leger accelerated up to 178 mph at times in a stolen 
Mercedes-Benz SUV as he drove through Orange, Osceola, Indian River, 
Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Martin counties on Florida's Turnpike and 
I-95.


"Except for maybe a takeover, bank robbery or an active shooter, there's 
not anything more dangerous to the public. than somebody driving like 
that running from the police," Martin County Sheriff William Snyder 
said. "That's just as dangerous as it gets."


Police started pursuing the two in Orlando, but the SUV was initially 
stolen from Palm Beach County, Snyder said.


From Orlando, they traveled to Fort Pierce on the turnpike and stopped 
at a gas station on West Midway Road, where police spotted them.


The men spotted law enforcement officers following them and drove to 
I-95 and headed south.


A Martin County sheriff's lieutenant pursued and attempted a traffic 
stop, but left as the SUV sped up to 150 mph, according to the arrest 
affidavit.


Deputies deployed their tire deflation device around the Kanner Highway 
exit on I-95, which deflated the SUV's two tires as it drove over it.


St. Leger fled from the SUV into a wooded area after the vehicle was 
disabled, prompting deputies to deploy K9 Zorro, to find him.


The K9 found and bit St. Leger, while Martin stayed in the SUV and 
surrendered to deputies. St. Leger was treated at Cleveland Clinic 
Martin South Hospital for the dog bite, Snyder said..


Both are in custody at the Martin County Jail. St. Leger has an $800,000 
bond and Martin has a $100,000 bond, according to a jail official.


Snyder said the two men would be prosecuted in the 19th Judicial Circuit
