MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A federal fugitive authorities had been searching for is now in custody.

Cellphone video captured the moment bystanders reacted, with one saying, “the trouble is over,” as the suspect fell face-first onto the road after being tased. Officers then rushed in and swarmed him.

Hialeah police say their K-9 unit was assisting Florida Highway Patrol near a Walgreens at West 68th Street and 12th Avenue when an officer spotted the man, who troopers idenfitifed as 41-year-old Yam Perera Nunez.

Florida Highway Patrol says troopers tried to pull him over during a traffic stop on Okeechobee Road in the Pembroke Road area a day earlier, but he refused to stop.

Investigators say during the pursuit Perera Nunez abandoned his truck on Northwest 137th Avenue and ran off on foot.

Sky 10 was overhead during that search and spotted troopers and ICE agents in the area looking for him before he was eventually arrested.

Authorities say this was not Perera Nunez’s first encounter with law enforcement.

Back at the multi-agency arrest outside the Walgreens, authorities were seen towing a sports car with front-end damage. Witnesses said they were stunned by what unfolded in front of them.

Authorities say Perera Nunez faces a long list of federal charges, including aggravated assault, aggravated fleeing and eluding, battery, resisting arrest with violence and grand theft.
