Watch: Fla. Officer Uses PIT Maneuver to Stop Drunk Driver Plowing Through Ironman Course

  • Dashcam footage shows a Jacksonville sheriff’s officer executing a PIT maneuver to stop an accused drunk driver who entered an active Ironman race course and nearly struck cyclists.

A suspect who had eluded authorities in two earlier chases was apprehended last month when a Wisconsin deputy crashed into and flipped over his SUV during another pursuit.

The incident, which was caught on dashboard camera footage, happened just before 1:30 p.m. May 8 when a Fond du Lac sheriff's deputy tried to pull over a wanted felony vehicle, according to the agency. During the pursuit—as well as in the two previous chases—the suspect was driving recklessly and endangering other motorists.

Deputies pursued the suspect into a farm field, and he intentionally struck a sergeant's cruiser. He then tried to escape back onto the road.

As he reached the road, another deputy crashed into the side of the suspect's SUV. The impact flipped over the vehicle, ending the chase.

Deputies arrested the suspect, identified as Antoine Lamont Wells. He was charged on multiple counts, including first degree recklessly endangering safety and possession of hallucinogenic and stimulant drugs.
