On Monday evening, Ezequiel Brown was arrested in Leisure City, Fla. after a high-speed police pursuit that began near Southwest 152nd Avenue and Lincoln Drive. Brown, 44, was riding a stolen orange sports motorbike on the sidewalk in southern Miami-Dade County when detectives in an unmarked police car spotted him.
Despite being ordered to stop by the officers, Brown refused and continued to speed away recklessly. Despite the use of “police emergency equipment,” Brown continued to evade capture until he abandoned the motorbike near Southwest 288 Street and Kentucky Road. The detectives were able to apprehend him there.
Brown’s license had been suspended on March 11. After his arrest on Monday evening, he was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center early on Tuesday morning. He appeared in court on Tuesday to face charges in four cases, including grand theft, fleeing and eluding police, driving with a suspended license, and reckless driving. His bond was set at $5,300.
Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Laura Maria Gonzalez-Marques will preside over Brown’s case. For the latest breaking news alerts, stay informed with WPLG Local10.com.
