Nobody got hurt. Nobody got killed. Every police officer and deputy went home safe, Chitwood said in a phone interview. The bad guy went to jail safe. And no innocent person got hurt.
The person behind the wheel of each stolen police vehicle was identified as a 33-year-old man, according to the Volusia County Sheriff s Office. The News-Journal is not publishing the man s name because law enforcement raised questions about his mental health.
The man was charged with armed burglary of a conveyance; escape, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement; two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; two counts of grand theft firearm; two counts of grand theft motor vehicle; and driving while license suspended (habitual).
