Travion Washington, 18, is charged with fleeing and eluding law enforcement and resisting without violence.
The charges stem from an incident that happened in the Cypress Links subdivision. Deputies responded to a shooting there, and when the suspect vehicle was seen leaving the neighborhood, they chased it.
A pursuit started southbound on I-95, then westbound on State Road 206. The chase stopped when the car crashed into another car at the intersection of State Road 206 and County Road 305.
