A man was reported to be acting erratically in the residence. Deputies arrived and the suspect rammed one of their cars and drove away. A short pursuit ensued and after three patrol cars had been wrecked, the man was taken into custody.

Deputies responded to several 911 calls reporting a crash in the area of SW 185th Avenue and SW Pheasant Lane, in the community of Aloha. They arrived to find an unrecognizable Honda car that had struck a cinderblock wall at a high rate of speed.
