SEBRING, Fla. (WSVN) – A daring driver led deputies on a wild chase in Central Florida over the weekend.
Deputies say 39-year-old Miami native Richard Smith stole alcohol from a store in Sebring.
He then tried to outrun deputies, offering them some of his drink as he sped by.
“Stop! Stop!” a deputy said on bodycam video.
“I was just going to give you a drink, that’s it,” said Richard.
After a brief chase, Smith was caught and cuffed after being stopped by spike strips.
He now faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence and assault on an officer.
