Motorist alert: watch out, there's always some fool inspired by stories like this to try to out-do Florida Man
/Florida Man leads cops on a 180-mph chase.
A lead-footed Florida driver led stunned cops on one of the longest and most dangerous police pursuits in recent history, hitting speeds of up to 180 mph and spanning hundreds of miles through several counties.
(Spoiler alert: he didn’t get away.)
Martin County sheriff’s deputies set up “stop sticks” in St. Leger’s path as he zoomed around at 150 mph with his headlights off, the agency said. He drove directly over the devices and popped the car’s tires.
St. Leger abandoned the disabled vehicle and disappeared on foot into nearby woods with officers and police dogs in pursuit.
Despite being cornered, he still refused to surrender. Deputies sent a K-9 named Zorro into the remote area and the dog made the final collar.
