101 citations! Man in Dalmatian onesie outruns police, K9s and tasers with one hand cuffed
A Florida man dressed in a Dalmatian onesie has been arrested after evading police and K9 units despite being tasered and partially handcuffed.
It was a rough day for Dylan Keith Devereaux, who fled after being initially spotted and pulled over by Florida Highway troopers in Pasco County on January 27, due to reckless driving, reported law enforcement authorities.
Devereaux took off at a high rate of speed, stopping once to drop off a passenger before speeding off again, according to FHP officers, who were hot on his tail.
The vehicle eventually crashed into a tree, and Devereaux leaped from the car. He was tasered and brought to the ground by troopers, according to a criminal probable cause affidavit obtained by ABC6.
The 36-year-old reportedly began fighting with troopers in the road in a bid to escape before managing to sprint away with one hand cuffed, the affidavit recounted.
Devereaux ran toward his nearby residence but fled into a forest instead.The trooper who saw him flee waited for backup before pursuing him, ABC6 reported.
A K9 unit was later deployed and the dog led law enforcement to the home, where officers met his partner, Megan Elizabeth Hamilton, according to the affidavit.
Hamilton, 31, explained that she could not let troopers inside because of the presence of drugs, troopers said
Police returned to the home the next morning with a warrant and arrested Devereaux. He's charged with 13 offenses, including reckless driving, battery and assault on an officer, and possession of methamphetamine and a new, illegal substance.
Devereaux is currently incarcerated at Pasco Detention Center where his partner has also been taken into custody, according to records.

Wanted man from Miami Gardens arrested after chase and shootout on I-95 in St. Lucie County, FHP says
A Miami Gardens man with an active warrant led the Florida Highway Patrol on a brief chase early Sunday morning before ending it with a shootout on Interstate 95 in St. Lucie County, shutting the interstate for hours. According to FHP, a Be On the Lookout (BOLO) alert was sent out for a 2024 silver Mitsubishi Outlander that had previously fled from Hillsborough County deputies, and its driver -- only identified as a 29-year-old man from Miami Gardens -- had an active warrant. Just after 5:30 a.m., FHP Sgt. J. Torres saw the SUV traveling north on I-95 around Mile Marker 126 near Midway Road in Port St. Lucie and verified that it was the vehicle that the BOLO alert had mentioned. Torres tried to conduct a traffic stop; however, the SUV failed to stop and continued driving, prompting a pursuit, FHP said. After a short chase, Torres conducted a PIT maneuver to stop the SUV. Once the vehicle stopped, FHP said the driver began shooting at Torres and multiple agencies were called in to assist with the situation. Following a brief standoff, the driver was taken into custody before being transported to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. FHP said no officers were injured during the incident and that northbound I-95 had been shut down for the investigation. At this time, authorities have not revealed further details regarding the man's identity or other circumstances surrounding the incident, including why he had an active warrant. According to CBS News affiliate WPEC in West Palm Beach, northbound I-95 has since reopened.
