HALLANDALE BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials have taken a man into custody in Hallandale Beach after, they said, he fled from them on a personal watercraft during a nearby stop.
According to investigators, FWC Marine Patrol officers stopped a man for a manatee zone violation on the Intracoastal Waterway in Northeast Miami-Dade at around 8 p.m. on Monday when the subject took off.
He was later apprehended and charged with resisting an officer without violence and violating probation.
FWC officials said they are working with Hallandale Beach Police and U.S. Marshals.
The subject has been identified as 29-year-old Erick Darryl Tukes.
He was taken to a nearby hospital to be checked out for possible minor injuries.
Tukes remains behind bars at the Broward County Jail and is being held on a probation violation, which is connected to an out-of-state fraud case when he allegedly wrote $75,000 in bad checks.
