Florida good samaritan helps trooper with fleeing suspect arrest

TAMPA, Fla. (NBC, KYMA) - A Florida Highway Patrol deputy arrested a fleeing suspect recently with the help of a good samaritan.

The Florida Highway Patrol in Tampa posted this video Sunday.

In it you can see dashcam video of the deputy pulling up at an accident scene, after the suspect car was spotted doing 92 in a 55, according to officials.

The suspect tries to make a run for it, but doesn't get very far. He then gets out of his car, jumps the guardrail, and tries to flee. The deputy follows on foot, and then this happened.

A good samaritan saw what was happening, pulled up alongside the deputy and offered him a ride.

They quickly catch up to the suspect and he is taken into custody.

The 23-year-old man is now facing a long list of charges, including fleeing and eluding, driving with no driver's license due to multiple suspensions, reckless driving, leaving the scene of a crash and he also has a failure to appear warrant.
