On Feb. 23, less than two weeks after the incident, deputies located Berry at a resident on Tamarind Park in Kissimmee, according to the sheriff's office.

Berry was booked into the Osceola County Jail on multiple charges, including aggravated battery on a police officer, fleeing and eluding, and resisting with violence.
The sheriff's office said Berry has a previous warrant for a violation of a previous DUI arrest.
