According to the Florida Highway Patrol, at approximately 1:36 a.m., a stolen silver Lexus had fled from an attempted traffic stop with the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office. FHP located the Lexus in Lee County on Interstate 75 and tried to pull it over at mile marker 114, near Collier County.

Foster is being charged with fleeing, grand theft, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving and drug charges. Foster also has an active warrant as a prison escapee from the Florida Department of Corrections.
