MIAMI LAKES, Fla. — Jayden Aransevia was speeding in a stolen car before he ran and swam while trying to get away from law enforcement in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, according to a police officer’s arrest report.
Aransevia, 24, faced charges on Thursday in a case that involved Miramar, Miami Gardens, and Miami Lakes police officers; deputies; and Florida Highway Patrol troopers, records show.
A police officer in Miramar reported Aransevia, whose driver’s license was suspended, was driving a stolen Toyota Tacoma at 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday at Northwest 33 Avenue and 207 Street.
While he was speeding, Aransevia jumped a median, drove the wrong way, got on the Palmetto Expressway, and exited at Miami Lakes Drive “after driving over the embankment,” according to the police officer’s report.
Aransevia “reversed into” a Miami Gardens police officer’s patrol car and fled again until a Florida Highway Patrol trooper forced him to stop with a Precision Immobilization Technique, or PIT maneuver, according to the police report.
Aransevia, who was wearing a red shirt, “jumped out” of the Toyota, “jumped the wall,” ran, “jumped into a lake behind 6926 Holly Road,” and “got out of the water and ran eastbound,” according to the police report.
Aransevia ran toward a Miami Lakes police officer at 6930 Holly Road, who deployed a Taser, shooting Aransevia, who then “fell into the water” before he was detained, according to the report.
Fire rescue personnel took Aransevia to the Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah. Police officers took him to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he was booked shortly before 2 a.m. on Wednesday.
Aransevia, who remained behind bars on Thursday afternoon, faced five charges: Grand theft auto, fleeing and eluding police, two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer or firefighter, and resisting an officer without violence.
Aransevia also had warrant cases for knowingly driving with a suspended license, reckless driving, and a hold for another law enforcement agency, according to inmate and court records.
