Officials say this happened near the intersection of Main Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard while another deputy was attempting to pull over a vehicle.
A deputy was trying to pull over a car when the suspect sped off and hit the K-9 deputy's car, officials say. Following the crash, the deputy's car hit a power pole.
The deputy only sustained minor injuries. The suspect tried to run from the scene but was ultimately caught and arrested.
The crash knocked out power in the surrounding area. Authorities are currently investigating the situation.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
