The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) said deputies located the suspect, 28-year-old Darius Ford, driving on Interstate 75.
“Deputies worked to slow him down, then deployed the grappler, which wrapped around his rear tire and brought his vehicle to a stop on the shoulder,” the HCSO said.
Ford was arrested and now faces felony charges including Possession of a Controlled Substance and 10 counts of Sexual Offender Providing False Information After Registration, the HCSO said.
