There’s been a solid trend of ambulance thefts in 2023, one we hope doesn’t continue into 2024. The latest case comes via Florida and really nobody should be shocked by that. But this one comes with an extra twist since the suspect drove the stolen ambulance right to the front doors of the sheriff’s office.

Do people in Florida pull over for law enforcement?

Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said the whole incident started innocently enough on the night of December 9 when a deputy received a call for help from an EMS. The patient was 35-year-old Stanley Williams and was “experiencing an altered mental state” which authorities suspect was fueled by drug use.

While Williams was receiving treatment, he was able to get into the ambulance cab and just drive off. Dashcam footage from the deputy’s car shows the ambulance slowly at first pull away at a gas station, then sped down the road as the deputy gave chase.
