ISLAMORADA, Fla. — Authorities say newly-released dashcam footage shows deputies pursuing a fleeing man who stole a government vehicle outside of a Florida Keys courthouse immediately after leaving jail after an arrest for ― of all charges ― fleeing from law enforcement.
Jefry Julian Chaucanes Vasquez, 23, of Miami Gardens, is facing a litany of felony charges in connection with both incidents.
Video shows deputies pursuing the Ford Escape, belonging to a state attorney’s office investigator, down U.S. 1 after Chaucanes Vasquez bonded out of jail in Islamorada on June 12.
He had been in jail, authorities said, for fleeing from deputies in a 125-mph chase down U.S. 1 on June 9.
The chase came to a crashing end near Marathon.
As of Thursday, Chaucanes Vasquez was now back in jail without bond.
