A Florida man with 139 prior felonies who was wanted on a parole violation was arrested after allegedly smashing a car through a condominium, removing his ankle monitor, and diving out the window of an apartment he reportedly burglarized.

At approximately 4:00 am on June 11, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office was notified by 911 informing them that many people had called to report an ongoing incident at the Sandalwood Apartments in Wildwood. According to the callers, a car had smashed into the building, and the driver was breaking into the units in the building.

The authorities rushed to the scene, and they learned the man trapped himself in an apartment on the second floor. Police attempted to coax him outside, but the man refused. Members of SCSO S.W.A.T. and a crisis negotiation team arrived, and they spent several hours trying to de-escalate the situation.
