Two suspects accused of driving a stolen Jeep from Jacksonville were arrested in Hollywood after officers used a grappler to stop the car.<\/p>\n

Rebekah Everhart, 44, was charged with grand theft, and Michael Kennedy, 45, was charged with driving without a license.<\/p>\n

Rebekah Everhart and Michael Kennedy<\/p>\n

According to Hollywood Police, on Feb. 10, an officer saw a white Jeep Wrangler that matched the description of a vehicle that was stolen in Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

An arrest report said that if a traffic stop were to be done, the vehicle might flee, so an officer decided to use his cruiser’s grappler to stop the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Dash camera video showed the grappler being deployed on the Jeep and stopping it.<\/p>\n

After the Jeep was stalled, body camera footage captured several officers pointing their guns at the Jeep.<\/p>\n

The driver was identified as Kennedy, and the passenger as Everhart. A third passenger was also seen being detained, but it’s unclear if they were arrested.<\/p>\n

After being arrested, Kennedy refused to speak to officers, and Everhart said that she was borrowing the Jeep from a family friend, the report said.<\/p>\n

Everhart, the report said, told officers she left from Jacksonville in the Jeep and then went to pick up Kennedy when she made it to Hollywood.<\/p>\n

The two were then taken to the Broward Sheriff’s Office Main Jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two suspects accused of driving a stolen Jeep from Jacksonville were arrested in Hollywood after officers used a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159226,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1009,116,118,117],"class_list":{"0":"post-159225","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-caught-on-camera","9":"tag-jacksonville","10":"tag-jacksonville-headlines","11":"tag-jacksonville-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159225\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
