It just seems like a lot of police car chases involving a box truck have been happening around Tampa Bay.

This morning MJ and the crew were talking about how it seems like there are a lot of police car chases. Recently, there have been several stories reported involving the Bay Area.

Below is dash-cam video from law enforcement in Alachua County of a box truck chase. However, it began with a carjacking in Tampa.

A man was taken into custody. At the end of the chase he said of the police, “They’re just protecting the people.” He also told one member of the Florida Highway Patrol, “I ain’t even mad at y’all, ’cause y’all did your jobs.” You can see the video from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office of the box truck chase below.

Deputies pursue armed carjacker in box truck

Early this morning just after 7 a.m., the Alachua County Sheriff's Office received a request for assistance from Florida Highway Patrol who was pursuing a box truck stolen out of the Tampa area that was traveling north in the southbound lanes on I-75 from the Marion County line. The driver had also been involved in an armed carjacking prior to stealing the box truck. The vehicle exited I-75 onto SW Archer Road and was pursued through portions of Butler Plaza and the 34th Street Plaza to the 2100 block of SW 34th Street where the driver, Brandon J. Baker, 33, exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. He was quickly taken into custody by FHP and ACSO deputies. Mr. Baker was transported to the Alachua County Jail, booked on multiple felony charges with additional charges pending from the Tampa Police Department. Sheriff Clovis Watson Jr. would like to commend the law enforcement officers involved in this incident who were able to stop this dangerous suspect before he seriously injured or killed anyone. You can see just how serious this incident was by watching our video.
