BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — A south Florida man was arrested after allegedly leading police on a multi-county chase in a stolen fire truck on Thursday.
Miami Fire Rescue crews were conducting a training exercise in North Miami Beach at around 6:30 p.m. when one of their trucks drove off. Police identified the man inside as Lekambrick Hanna, 31, of Miami, NBC affiliate WPTV reports.
The truck struck an Opa Locka police cruiser, according to NBC affiliate WTVJ. No one was inside the car at the time of the crash.
A chase ensued as the fire truck continued north onto I-95, passing through Broward County. Police ended the pursuit on the Florida Turnpike near Boynton Beach at around 9 p.m.
Traffic camera video obtained by WTVJ shows Hanna surrendering to police along the side of the road with his hands up. Police took him into custody without incident.
Hanna was booked into the Palm Beach County jail, where he is being held on a $7,500 bond. He was charged with grand theft of emergency medical equipment.
Go big or go home, Florida Man!
Florida man - gettin’ $**t done again.
There were no pictures, so I don’t know what the perpetrator looked like!
Florida Man strikes again.
I swear it wasn’t me as I’m am out of state for the weekend.
Way to Go, Lekambrick.
So wise to steal such a fast, agile , non-descript vehicle for your getaway!
(I assume there was alcohol or some sort of illicit drug involved.)
Well, he gets points for following the “Never steal anything small” rule.
His mom wanted him to be named Lamebrained Brickhead, but the doctors misheard her.
He told the judge he had a CDL, so he could.
Florida Man has still got the mojo.
