Fort Pierce man gets 2 years' prison after plea in deadly 2022 crash in Port St. Lucie
FORT PIERCE – A 24-year-old man was sentenced to two years in prison in connection with a 2022 crash that ultimately left a 71-year-old driver dead, according to documents and attorneys. Mccenroe Davansky Duroseau, of Fort Pierce, pleaded no contest in July to a vehicular homicide charge involving the August 2022, crash on Northwest Selvitz Road in Port St. Lucie. Sentencing was Aug. 18 before Circuit Judge Michael Heisey. A 71-year-old man, identified in court records as Thomas David Coxey, succumbed to his injuries three days after the collision at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital in Fort Pierce, a police spokesperson has said. Investigators determined Duroseau drove south on Northwest Selvitz Road at more than double the 35 mph speed limit when his Toyota Camry entered the northbound lanes, striking a Honda Civic before crashing head on with a Buick Encore driven by Coxey. The crash happened about 500 feet north of Northwest Archer Avenue, according to Sgt. Dominick Mesiti, Port St. Lucie Police spokesperson. Police calculated Duroseau was traveling at least 80 mph in the incident, using data collected from the vehicle. Duroseau and a passenger were taken to Lawnwood with non life-threatening injuries, records show. Assistant State Attorney Robert Stone said he asked for 10 years in prison. He said the lowest permissible sentence was 111 months. 'They (the defense) argued for a departure … from the lowest permissible sentence of 111 months,' Stone said. 'And Judge Heisey agreed and departed and gave him two years in prison and five years' probation.' Assistant Public Defender Rebecca Kelly, who heads the Fort Pierce office, said the defense argued that because it was an isolated incident and because of Duroseau's "extreme remorse" the judge should give him a lesser sentence. 'He listened to all the evidence and came to a decision," she said. Stone said there was testimony that Duroseau was remorseful and sorry, and 'that the only reason why he was traveling at the speeds he was going was because he believes his brother was being kidnapped in the other car that was speeding.'

Stone said the passenger in Duroseau's vehicle in a deposition said they weren't chasing another vehicle because of a kidnapping. He said the passenger didn't remember what they were doing. 'Going 105 mph in that area at 7:30 at night is very reckless and I don't know, one, how he was even able to control the car at that speed in that area, but then … he hit and killed somebody,' Stone said. 'I believe he was racing the other car. That's what other witnesses had said.' Will Greenlee is a breaking news reporter for TCPalm.

New dashcam shows Tacoma man swerving at pedestrians, speeding in median during Shoreline chase
A 38-year-old Tacoma man was arrested in Fife after police said he led officers on a series of dangerous chases across King and Snohomish counties, including incidents where he allegedly rammed a fire truck, used nitrous oxide while driving, and swerved toward pedestrians. Newly released dashcam video shows McCreary allegedly speeding away on August 3 from Seattle police throughout Shoreline, driving in the media, making U-turns, and nearly hitting pedestrians and other vehicles. According to the Kent Police Department, Zachary McCreary was taken into custody during his lunch break outside his workplace in Fife. Officers said he was carrying a loaded handgun without a valid concealed pistol license at the time. McCreary faces three counts of attempting to elude police, one count of attempted second-degree assault, and reckless driving. Prosecutors are also referring firearm-related charges to Fife Municipal Court. A string of incidents over six weeks Police said the investigation began after a series of escalating encounters dating back to June. June 18: McCreary reported his silver 2025 Honda Civic stolen in Seattle. The car was later found crashed and impounded at a West Seattle tow yard. June 20: Officers spotted a suspicious white Chevrolet Malibu without plates parked near the same tow yard. When an officer approached, police said McCreary jumped into the car and reversed toward the patrol vehicle, forcing the officer back until he was pinned against a fence. McCreary allegedly made hand gestures before speeding away. June 24: Kent police saw the same Malibu speeding on Pacific Highway South. When officers tried to stop it, McCreary allegedly fled at high speed and avoided spike strips. Investigators later confirmed his identity through surveillance footage and earlier contact records. August 3: Seattle firefighters reported that McCreary offered them a nitrous oxide canister, known as a 'whippit,' before reversing his Honda Accord into their fire truck several times and then driving away. Shortly after, dashcam video captured the same vehicle, damaged and missing plates, attempting to hit pedestrians and eluding Shoreline officers by brake-checking them and swerving into oncoming lanes. August 6: Seattle and Kent officers, using phone data and surveillance, tracked McCreary to his workplace in Fife, where he was arrested. Police statement Kent police said McCreary's actions repeatedly put the public at risk. 'This suspect showed a complete disregard for public safety,' the department said in a written statement. 'You may outrun us a time or two, but we communicate and brainstorm with our regional partners. You will just go to jail with more crimes to resolve in the end.' McCreary remains in custody.
