JSO: Unlicensed Jacksonville teen hits pothole, leads police on chase

WEIRD FLORIDA: Accused Jacksonville serial food truck thief caught by owner 

An 18-year-old man led the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office on a chase that ended when he fled and hid on top of a metal shed, police said in a report.

Timothy Magruder, 18, is facing multiple charges after the July 17 incident.

JSO said Magruder was spotted driving at a high rate of speed in a 1995 Lincoln Town Car on Rayford Street. Magruder nearly crashed the big sedan while trying to turn onto Day Ave., JSO said.

During a police chase, Magruder kept driving faster, JSO said, until he finally hit a pothole and crashed into a tree.

Magruder ran, JSO said, and briefly got away by hiding on top of a metal shed. With the aid of a police K-9, Magruder was quickly located and arrested.

The suspect told JSO that he believed he broke his leg when he crashed the car. He also had cuts on his hands from the metal shed and was noticeably bleeding, the report said.

Magruder had crack cocaine on him, the report said. He was charged with drug possession, reckless driving and resisting arrest.

Magruder, who had two other teenagers with him in the car that crashed, has never been issued a valid Florida driver's license, the report said.
