Guyrson Maddy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Investigative efforts also led deputies 15 miles northwest of the hotel to a dark-colored 2025 Tesla Model Y believed to be involved in the incident.<\/p>\n
While searching the surrounding area, they located a vehicle matching that description at a residence on Palm Breezes Drive in Fort Pierce. <\/p>\n
Deputies contacted a woman who confirmed she had been at the hotel and ultimately directed them to a bathroom where Maddy was located by a deputy and his K-9 partner. <\/p>\n
Maddy was apprehended without incident and taken to the St. Lucie County Jail on a domestic battery charge. <\/p>\n
The Broward County holds for violations of probation are for battery on a law enforcement officer, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, grand theft, criminal use of personal identification information, defrauding an innkeeper and driving while license revoked.<\/p>\n
Maddy’s probation in Palm Beach County began in 2023 and ended last Sunday, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.<\/p>\n
