00:00Guess where we're going? To Florida. Lake City, Florida. That's about an hour north of Gainesville.

00:09Going to be Marion, St. Margaret's.

00:11A Columbia County deputy has just pulled over this Mercury sedan on a traffic stop.

00:16How's it going? Debbie Steven with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. You got your license, registration, proof of insurance on you?

00:21That's the problem, what I did.

00:23Just let me get your license. I'll explain everything.

00:25If I didn't commit a promise, you can't get it.

00:27It's a traffic infraction, okay?

00:30Once you articulate a crime for me, then I have to open it.

00:33There's no crime. It's an infraction, okay?

00:35I'm not going to keep asking you.

00:37The driver seems unwilling to cooperate.

00:40Are you going to provide your driver's license?

00:44All right, sir, step out of the vehicle. Step out of the vehicle.

00:48Step out of the vehicle.

00:50Get out of the vehicle, now.

00:52And instead of stepping out, he simply rolls up his window.

00:56Get out of the vehicle.

00:57Get out of the vehicle.

00:59Nope, I've already asked you so many times.

01:00Get out of the vehicle.

01:02Backup arrives, and just to make sure the driver doesn't take off, they move a patrol car to block him in.

01:08I'm Sergeant Sullivan, Sheriff's Office.

01:10Step out or I'm pulling you out.

01:11Last option.

01:13Window break.

01:15Punch it.

01:16Watch your eyes.

01:18Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:19The driver backs up and hits an officer.

01:23Then hits a parked pickup and takes off.

01:291031, 1031.

01:31Westbound.

01:32The suspect's all over the road.

01:36And goes up on the lawn.

01:38He's going through a yard.

01:4123.

01:4223.

01:42Oh.

01:43Oh.

01:43He's now back on the road with three officers right on his tail.

01:48Watch this.

01:48Remember, I have the K-9.

01:50Whoever's in front of me, be careful.

01:52Throwing ahead veers to the right, but instead, the driver crosses over and is now going the wrong way.

01:58The driver tries to lose him by making a right at Frog's Pub.

02:15He hops on the 242A, but the deputy is right on his tail.

02:26The driver slows down.

02:29And tries to lose him again.

02:34He goes up on the lawn.

02:37And makes a U-turn.

02:40You're not going to.

02:42I'm a research.

02:44You ain't going to out-drive me, though.

02:47You ain't going to out-drive me.

02:51Once again, he passes Frog's Pub.

02:55And hops back on the State Highway 41.

02:58Ten-four.

02:59Ten-four.

03:03Ten-four.

03:04Get ready.

03:05We're coming.

03:05Get ready.

03:06About 30 seconds.

03:09Up ahead, officers are getting ready with stop sticks.

03:13He's coming to you.

03:14I'm backing up.

03:15I'm backing up.

03:16The driver makes a left turn and goes over the sticks.

03:27Get right, get right, get right.

03:31Whoever's behind me get in front of me.

03:32The deputy pulls to the side.

03:34And now a second deputy moves in for the pitch.

03:46The driver runs the stop sign.

03:48And the deputy makes his move.

03:49Northbound 242A.

03:50The driver gets out of the car.

04:04And with his phone in hand, drops to the ground.

04:07The canine's out of the car.

04:09But it doesn't look like that's going to be necessary.

04:11The suspect is helped up to his feet.

04:19Are you okay?

04:21Yeah, he almost hit you.

04:23And led to a waiting patrol car.

04:25Where's my car?

04:26Oh, right here.

04:28Deputies searched the car and found fentanyl and marijuana.

04:3135-year-old Irvin White is now facing several drug charges.

04:35As well as fleeing, resisting, violence, and also leaving the scene of a crash.

04:40Oh, right here.
