A Minnesota man who is wanted for federal drug charges led police on a high-speed chase this weekend in Florida. Authorities say the man responsible has an arrest warrant issued from Moorhead. Thirty-five-year-old Ryan Swartley from Park Rapids is being held on a charge of aggravated fleeing, possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He is also charged with violating probation after leading police on a pursuit through Panama City Beach on Saturday. Authorities say the speeds reached over 90 miles an hour. It all started when deputies spotted Swartley parked outside of a condo building. That’s when a deputy tried to pull him over, police say he then took off. Authorities used a pit maneuver to stop him, but not before Swartley allegedly crashed into two different civilian cars along with damaging multiple police cars. People who saw the chase say it was a frantic pursuit throughout the city. “This truck is going sideways, ping ponging onto some of these cars and we jumped out because he was coming close to us and the curb,” said eyewitness Greg Jones. Authorities say one person inside a car Swartley hit was injured from the chase. Police in Florida say they had been looking for Swartley for two weeks.

Never buy a used police car. Regular oil changes don't make up for the other stuff.
My home town!! I remember when this took place!!
Unusual to see multiple pit manoeuvres attempted in a busy area with oncoming traffic so close.
Dang, that was an aggressive PIT.
That Ford Explorer didn’t play
What was the police thinking to do a pit maneuver at this place ? In the middle of traffic ????? They should waited for a safer place to do the maneuver.
police are trained to do the pit when conditions are right , wth there where 3 cars on oncoming and two right beside them on there side of traffic , im hoping someone payed for that damages of the two cars
So you’re vehicle is impounded and probably totaled. You lose your freedom, most likely your job. Hundreds of dollars in fines, court costs, lawyer fees. A major hike in your auto insurance rate. So all of this was worth it?
Sorry about the peoples cars getting dinged. But it was not like Caly who chase them for hours. Good job officers.
You PIT when there's no other cars around dipshit.
Only 6/10 on the pit, but 3 bonus stars for keeping after it.
I bet all those people who got hit got giant payouts from the police department.
Florida has replaced the PIT maneuver with a good old fashioned demolition derby
Why do the windshield wipers usually come on in a wreck? Does anyone know? Is it just that one’s leg hits it?
Worst pit maneuver I've seen on video. Dangerous and sloppy.
Pitting on a busy street?
I love the Pit maneuver. When my father first became an Officer back in 1960, he was a Dirt Track Racer in stock-cars. This Department he joined up with said he had to quit racing Stock-cars. Why I don't remember as I was only five at that time. But soon after like a few years later, he was teaching all officers on his favorite dirt track how to do the Pit. Boy did he have a blast, and got paid to do it. Dirt track racing on city streets, what a Blast I had riding with him. Slideways we went chasing people. The fastest I got to go around town and not get a ticket of my own.
show…
Well boys. I guess Ford beats Chevy.
Yeah great idea, just cause as many accidents as possible on a busy street
Welcome to Panama City Beach, Springbreak capital of the world! Cheers!
+support for those who went through a hurricane!
GET SOME!
You ever arrest someone so hard their windshield wipers come on?
Successful training day
that wasn't a PIT, that was demolition derby
