Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) troopers arrested two individuals following a high-speed pursuit that ended with a precision immobilization technique (PIT) maneuver. The chase began after officers identified a vehicle linked to suspected drug trafficking. The pursuit concluded safely when troopers disabled the fleeing car. Both the driver—who has a prior record including assault on a law enforcement officer—and the passenger were taken into custody without further incident.
Authorities confirmed that the suspects now face a range of felony charges, including aggravated fleeing and eluding, drug possession with intent to distribute, and other narcotics-related offenses. The FHP emphasized that the action was part of ongoing efforts to disrupt illegal drug operations in the state. No injuries were reported during the arrest. Investigations remain active as evidence is processed.
