Speed Chase Leads to Counterfeit Money OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla.—A Pensacola man faces multiple felonies in connection with a pursuit on Interstate Ten in Okaloosa and Walton Counties that ended when the suspect crashed his vehicle at the Highway 331 exit ramp on Saturday, June 11. An Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Deputy was attempting to make a traffic stop on a man speeding in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 near the Holt Exit around 1:30 p.m. The driver refused to stop and could be seen throwing various items out of his car window as he continued down the highway into Walton County at speeds as high as 100 miles an hour. He made a sharp turn to get off the interstate at the Highway 331 exit but crossed over the highway and ended up in a ditch. He took off on foot but was quickly apprehended by OCSO deputies. The officers searched for items that were tossed out the window during the pursuit and located various pieces of counterfeit money. The driver was charged with fleeing and eluding, driving with a suspended license 3rd or more offense, destroying evidence, and possession of counterfeit money. The Walton County Sheriff’s Office and Defuniak Springs Police Department assisted in the case. |
