A convicted felon from Minnesota was arrested on Saturday in Miami Beach after being accused of fleeing from officers during a traffic stop, authorities said. <\/p>\n
Jirell Tremon, 38, was charged with possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, eluding\/fleeing police, and resisting an officer without violence. <\/p>\n
According to Miami Beach Police, at around 4:45 p.m., officers attempted a traffic stop on a black Dodge Durango that was in the 1000 block of Ocean Drive. <\/p>\n
Police said the vehicle didn’t stop and kept going southbound on Fifth Street.<\/p>\n
A drone was then launched in the air to track Tremon’s vehicle, police said. <\/p>\n
During the pursuit, the drone pilot saw Tremon leaving his vehicle on the 700 block of Jefferson Avenue and tossing a black handgun. The pilot then told officers where he was, and he was taken into custody. <\/p>\n
Officers were able to find the handgun that Tremon threw out. <\/p>\n
After he was arrested, investigators determined that Tremon was a convicted felon from Minnesota. <\/p>\n
No injuries were reported during the incident. <\/p>\n
Tremon is expected to appear in court on Monday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A convicted felon from Minnesota was arrested on Saturday in Miami Beach after being accused of fleeing from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83198,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1219,123,125,124],"class_list":["post-193442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-crime-and-courts","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193442","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=193442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
