The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested a suspect after fleeing from deputies
By: On Monday, January 8, 2024, deputies conducted a traffic stop on a Dodge Scat Pack when Christian Doby, 26, fled from the scene at a high rate of speed.
Deputies successfully deployed stop sticks, striking three of the vehicle's tires.
Our Aviation Unit tracked the suspect to an apartment complex at Puritan Road, where he fled on foot with another occupant.
K9 commands were made, and the suspect was arrested and taken into custody without incident.
Through investigative means, detectives found that Doby was a fugitive from justice for nearly four years.
"This suspect put everyone's lives at risk by speeding through our streets, underestimating the skill of our deputies. Our deputies' training confirms that those who endanger our community will be swiftly brought to justice," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Doby may have believed he could escape consequences, but now he will have plenty of time to think about the repercussions of his choices."
Doby is facing several charges, including:
Fleeing to Elude- High Speed
Operating a Unregistered Motor Vehicle
Attaching Tag was not Assigned.
Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver
Resist without Violence
VOP - Out of County Warrant - Possession of Controlled Substance
