NORTH MIAMI, FLA. (WSVN) – A man was arrested after a traffic stop turned into a dangerous pursuit, with officers forced to fire to stop the suspect.<\/p>\n
The driver was 24-year-old Tavaris Palacios, who fled from police in Miami Beach and was arrested in North Miami on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust comply. He would have been going home had he just complied,\u201d said a witness. \u201cIt did not surprise me that this shooting happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
The chaos unfolded after police spotted the man\u2019s blue Mercedes with illegal window tints.<\/p>\n
They then attempted to stop him near the 900 block of Ocean Drive.<\/p>\n
Police stated that Palacios initially complied, but then sped away, swerving into a bike lane and headed south down Ocean Drive.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest report, investigators said that this caused public safety concerns due to the large volume of pedestrian traffic at the time.<\/p>\n
The concerns escalated after Palacios fled northbound through Interstate 95, and hit another vehicle in the process.<\/p>\n
A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was forced to fire their weapon at the Mercedes SUV, but did not injure anyone.<\/p>\n
The pursuit ended near Northwest 7th Avenue and Northwest 129th Street after police made a pit maneuver to halt the car.<\/p>\n
Palacios was caught and arrested, and is facing multiple charges, including fleeing, eluding, refusing to obey a lawful order of a police officer, and reckless driving.<\/p>\n
Palacios did have a passenger in the car at the time of the crash who was taken into custody, but police have not revealed more information on their identity.<\/p>\n
