Florida Traffic Violation Stop In Brevard Leads To Gun Arrest And Escape
A Brevard County traffic stop led to Owantus Johnson being arrested for gun charges but while in custody he sprinted out of the interview room and escaped. According to the Associated Press, Johnson was pulled over for a traffic violation and that is when deputies found a gun in his car.
Johnson tried to flee when the gun was discovered but was captured and taken in for questioning. His hands were restrained behind his back with a plastic tie but that didn’t stop the 19-year-old from running out of the interview room and escaping the Sheriff’s deputies. He is still at large and wanted on the original charges of resisting arrest without violence and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
