A wild Florida chase ends with a PIT maneuver gone wrong! After fleeing at over 100 MPH in a 47-year-old Antonio Ramirez wrecked his F-150 truck, ditched the scene, and claimed he was home asleep. But troopers — with help from dashcams, store footage, and two cruisers equipped with 360° cameras — had receipts.

The PIT maneuver, executed by Trooper Juan Rosado-Perez, forced the truck off the road. But things didn’t go as planned.

He told officers he had taken melatonin at 11 PM and had been asleep the entire night.
The official report paints a different picture. Ramirez was arrested and charged with:
Felony Fleeing and Eluding
Leaving the Scene of a Crash
Resisting
Driving While Under the Influence
Refusal to Submit to Testing
He was transported to Lee Memorial Hospital for medical clearance, then booked at the Lee County Jail. His F-150 was recovered and impounded after the crash.
