Officers then rushed in and swarmed him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Hialeah police say their K-9 unit was assisting Florida Highway Patrol near a Walgreens at West 68th Street and 12th Avenue when an officer spotted the man. Troopers tried to make contact, but say he ran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Authorities say this was not his first encounter with law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Florida Highway Patrol says troopers tried to pull him over during a traffic stop on Okeechobee Road in the Pembroke Road area a day earlier, but he refused to stop. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Instead, investigators say he led them on a pursuit, abandoned his truck on Northwest 137th Avenue and ran off on foot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Sky 10 was overhead during that search and spotted troopers and ICE agents in the area looking for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Back at the multi-agency arrest outside the Walgreens, authorities were seen towing a sports car with front-end damage. Witnesses said they were stunned by what unfolded in front of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Investigators have not yet released the man\u2019s identity or why he was considered a federal fugitive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Authorities say he faces a long list of federal charges, including aggravated assault, battery and grand theft.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Magdala Louissaint\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/https:\/\/author-service-images-prod-us-east-1.publishing.aws.arc.pub\/wplginc\/37f8699f-d0f0-420f-8dfa-.jpeg\"  width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\/>Magdala Louissaint<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-author-bio__author-description\">Magdala Louissaint joined WPLG in August 2025 and is thrilled to call South Florida home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published:\u00a0April 23, 2026 at 10:17 PM MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 A federal fugitive authorities had been searching for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226],"class_list":["post-244449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244449","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=244449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
