Fleeing biker arrested after dragging Pasco deputy 10 feet during traffic stop: PCSO
HUDSON, Fla. (WFLA) — A month-long search has come to an end with the arrest of a suspect who officials said dragged a Pasco County deputy 10 feet while fleeing a traffic stop.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said investigators found 36-year-old Brandon Robillard at his home on May 18, where he locked himself inside and refused to come out.

Deputies said they tried to deescalate the situation multiple times before eventually entering the home and taking Robillard into custody.
A Pasco County deputy had tried to get Robillard to pull over after spotting him driving a black Suzuki SV650 on April 11 in the U.S. 19 and Beach Boulevard area of Hudson.
However, instead of stopping, officials said Robillard accelerated toward the deputy, striking him and dragging him about 10 feet.
The sheriff's office said the deputy's injuries were non-life-threatening.
Robillard now faces several charges, including fleeing to elude and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. Authorities said he also had an active felony warrant out of Polk County.
