Deputies were originally looking for a black Nissan sedan that fled from St. John’s County.

Law enforcement said once they found the car, the vehicle began to commit multiple traffic violations, including failing to stop at several red traffic lights, turning off all the vehicle’s exterior lights, and recklessly traveling in opposite lanes in an effort to escape.

The suspect was eventually arrested on Cypress Edge Drive after being chased down by FCSO deputies.
