A Florida man allegedly stole an ambulance and forced the police to chase him when the paramedics said they would not give him a ride home.

On the evening of March 15, a 43-year-old man was at the HCA South Tampa Hospital, and he asked paramedics from the Tampa Fire Rescue if they would give him a ride home in the ambulance. His request was denied, and the man allegedly jumped into the vehicle and drove away. Florida Highway Patrol was notified about the situation, and troopers began searching for the ambulance. They quickly found it, and when they tried to perform a traffic stop, the driver allegedly ignored them and forced them to chase him down.

According to reports, the troopers trailed him as he failed to stop at multiple stop signs, turned into oncoming traffic, and almost caused several collisions with other vehicles. When he finally stopped, a deputy’s dash cam reportedly displayed the man sitting in the ambulance after refusing to get out and drinking from a can of what was believed to be beer. The police tried to physically take him out of the vehicle, but he reportedly resisted by gripping the steering wheel. After he was removed, he was identified as a homeless individual from the Tampa area. When they talked to him about what occurred, he allegedly said he had been drinking for two days prior to the incident.

A man in central Florida was arrested for DUI when he was pulled over for speeding and the police found several beers in his truck.

Early in the morning on September 9, a man from Umatilla was driving a truck near his residence when he caught the attention of a deputy from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. According to reports, the posted speed limit was 45 MPH, but the deputy asserted that he was going 80 MPH. The deputy also reported that the vehicle was being operated unsafely and failed to stop at multiple stop signs. When the driver got into the same lane as the patrol car, he allegedly nearly crashed into it.

The deputy performed a traffic stop, and the driver pulled over without incident. When he began talking to the man, the deputy reported that he detected a strong smell of alcohol coming from his breath and that his eyes were reddened. After he got out of the truck, the man allegedly had trouble steadying himself. The driver was asked to take a roadside sobriety test, but he declined. He also refused to consent to a breath test.
