A Florida man was arrested after offering a Highlands County deputy a hard seltzer during a vehicle pursuit on Saturday, according to the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies say that just before 3 p.m., the 39-year-old offered them a Ketel One vodka spritz as he drove past them. The Spring Lake Market had reported him for stealing several items, including alcoholic beverages, and walking out. Deputies say he was seen circling the store in a black minivan as they were en route to the store. Once they found him, the suspect allegedly sped off, leading to a miles-long car chase that ended in the parking lot of a business at the Sebring Airport. During the pursuit, he held the drink outside his window, telling deputies, “I was just going to give you a drink, that’s it.” Deputies say he then tried ramming two patrol vehicles as they flattened all four of his tires with spike strips. After he was taken off the ground by deputies, the man asked them, “You guys had fun, though, right?” His bond was set at $120,000 after being charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, battery on a law enforcement officer, two counts of resisting arrest, DUI, refusal to submit to a DUI test and petit theft. www.instagram.com/onlyinfloridaa
