Fort Myers,FL : Fleeing police, he struck two cars as he crashed near Forsyth on September, Monday 25th 2017

A Florida man who struck two cars as he sped away from a traffic stop last year was sentenced to 15 years in prison Monday.

Carl Lester Carr, 30, of Tallahassee, Florida, was found guilty of a string of traffic offenses during a one-day trial in Monroe County Superior Court, said Chief Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Bobbitt. The charges against him included obstruction of an officer, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving, failure to maintain a lane, failure to stop at a stop sign, and two counts each of speeding and fleeing or trying to elude a police officer.

Forsyth police pulled over Carr after he was spotted driving 88 mph in a 70 mph zone on Interstate 75 in Forsyth on Sept. 10, 2016, Bobbitt said.

After checking Carr’s license and discovering it was suspended, the officer went back to Carr’s car to arrest him. Instead of getting out of the car, Carr sped off.
