Suspect Captured After
Ramming Five Cars in Tampa

Trooper Arnold
Trooper Howard Arnold

Sgt. Cendan
Sergeant Mike Cendan

While working an aircraft speed enforcement detail on Interstate 4 in Hillsborough County, FHP pilot Sergeant Mike Cendan notified Trooper Howard Arnold about an SUV traveling 88 miles per hour in the 70 mile per hour posted speed zone. When Trooper Arnold attempted to stop the driver of the SUV, he would not stop and then exited the interstate. At that time, Trooper Arnold disengaged and turned it over to Sergeant Cendan, who followed the suspect from the air into a residential area. Once the SUV came to a stop, Trooper Arnold responded to the location, giving verbal commands for the suspect to exit the vehicle. The trooper was surprised when the suspect suddenly took off, ramming his patrol car.
