A vehicle pursuit between a stolen vehicle and law enforcement ended in a crash on Alico Road and Ben Hill Griffin Parkway. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the FHP assisted the Collier County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday evening in pursuing a Ford F250. The pickup truck had been stolen from Collier County and involved in a burglary in Lee County. The pursuit went north on Interstate 75, approaching Corkscrew Road. The F250 actively fled at a high speed, evading attempts to stop. The F250 eventually began traveling east on Alico Rd. when State Troopers performed a successful PIT maneuver near Ben Hill Griffin Parkway. The driver, later identified as 36-year-old David Alfonso of Naples, fled on foot and was found in a drainage ditch a short time later. He has been taken into custody and charged with the following: Aggravated Fleeing to Elude Reckless Driving License Suspended (Habitual Offender with 18 prior suspensions) Grant Theft Warrant Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer Resisting Arrest Criminal Mischief
