Around 3 a.m., Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputies attempted to stop a 2023 Dodge Charger over the tint of its windows. The vehicle fled, causing deputies to request assistance from FHP.
The vehicle was spotted again traveling at a high rate of speed near Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Street North and 7th Avenue North, according to FHP. A trooper tried overtaking the vehicle, and deputies deployed spike strips, but the suspect still managed to flee.
