Cocaine, marijuana and running away from police officers isn't new to him. Monroe's criminal record from 2004 to 2017 includes five felony convictions. Detectives believe he is also not afraid of using fake identities. 

During the Jan. 26 chase, the officers said he nearly crashed into several vehicles before they let him get away in his wife's white 2012 Audi Q5. They were still searching for him Tuesday evening. 

Detectives were asking anyone with information about Monroe's whereabouts to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 354-493-8477.
