A man in Florida has been arrested after a chase that saw him steal not one but two police vehicles.
The chase started on Thursday, May 6 when police responded to a disturbance at a motel. However, when they went to investigate, 33-year-old Xavier Javern Cummings jumped into a patrol car and took off.
Authorities quickly pursued the man and according to Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood, successfully performed a PIT maneuver on the stolen police vehicle, forcing it to spear off the road and crash into trees in a forested area.
However, that didn’t stop Cummings. When officers tried to arrest him, he bolted and jumped in a Ford Explorer Police Interceptor that was left unattended and started to speed down the highway.
BOARDMAN A new traffic signal in the township is causing some concern.
Located at the intersection of Maple Avenue and Southern Boulevard, the lights were first tested Friday, but are blinking caution for motorists.
The light was added because a railroad needed a protective crossing, Marilyn Kenner, township road superintendent, said during a Boardman Township trustees special meeting Monday. There are no gates to warn motorists when trains utilize the intersection.
“The gates could not be there because of the way the road is configured,” she said. “The only way they could have protection for the railroad crossing was to install a signal,” Kenner said.
In the video you can see a cop practicing their driving skills in a Ford Explorer Police Interceptor in an empty parking lot late at night in New York City. Another officer watched the drifting display next to his Explorer parked up nearby. They were probably hoping nobody was looking, but the tomfoolery was caught on camera by someone filming from inside their apartment. Judging from the number of tire tracks in the snow, the fun lasted a long time.
What s also impressive is that the SUV used appears to be a fifth-generation Ford Explorer Interceptor powered by a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 generating 365 horsepower that s sent to an all-wheel-drive system.
