Florida Highway Patrol dashcam video shows a high-speed chase involving a 22-year-old driver of a yellow Corvette on the Florida Turnpike in South Florida. The incident happened Aug. 25 near Northwest 41st Street in Miami-Dade County, according to an arrest report.
Jordan Robinson, of Coral Springs, refused a trooper’s order to stop, the report said. A trooper wrote that the patrol car reached about 140 mph while the Corvette kept accelerating. Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies in the aviation unit joined the pursuit as the car left the Turnpike at Atlantic Boulevard.
BSO deputies coordinated the final stop at Pioneer Park, at 217 NE Fifth Ave. in Deerfield Beach, and arrested Robinson. Deputies reported finding a baggie with powdery residue and another with two yellow pills and one blue pill inside the car.
Court records show Robinson had been released on bond on Aug. 24 after a separate BSO arrest on Aug. 20 for drug and marijuana possession. Prosecutors filed that case on Aug. 21.
As of Monday evening, Robinson faced seven charges across two pending cases. In Broward County, the Aug. 21 case includes possession of a controlled substance, psilocybin, oxycodone and marijuana, plus a violation of an injunction for protection. Circuit Judge Michael Davis is presiding. In Miami-Dade County, the Aug. 25 case charges him with fleeing and eluding police and possession of a controlled substance. Circuit Judge Richard Hersch is presiding over that matter.
