WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — A driver involved in a double hit-and-run crash in Wesley Chapel was arrested on Wednesday (April 24) after troopers found drugs, thousands of dollars in cash, a cell phone, and a firearm in the vehicle.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), a GMC Sierra was pulling out of a Burger King parking lot when the driver accidentally hit a Dodge Challenger.
Due to the accident, the driver of the GMC pulled back into the parking lot. That's when the driver of the Challenger, later identified as Afranur Rahman, 29, of Temple Terrace, allegedly became very angry and hostile.
The driver of the GMC drove away "in fear for his life." Rahman allegedly followed the GMC and pulled a gun. Police say sometime during the pursuit, Rahman hit another vehicle without stopping.
During a search of the Challenger, police found a backpack that contained $4,103, a bottle of codeine, a cell phone, a firearm, and 66.7 grams of fentanyl. A trash bag was later pulled out of the trunk that contained water bottles and over five pounds of marijuana.
Rahman was arrested and booked into the Pasco County Jail on multiple charges.
“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.
