As soon as you're able to pet him for traffic light, I don't know if he's going to make it around the roundabout here. >> The driver is 25-year-old Colton. And when the officer tries to use a pit maneuver, it quickly becomes clear that this is just the start of the chaos he's about to unleash. Six. That's one pip. But he just signal forward. He's taking off again. Keep that back. >> Trying to catch back up, sir. >> Holton keeps driving recklessly [music] at high speed even after the successful pit and crosses into Sarasota County, prompting deputies from Sarasota Sheriff's Office and [music] officers from Venice Police Department to join in once it becomes clear he won't stop for anything. >> Do you have a truck description? >> It's going to be a marine truck.

I'm at Hatch Creek. >> As units collaborate to catch up with Colton, Air1 identifies the closest squad and guides the sergeant in. Once the sergeant gets behind Colton, his driving [music] becomes even more dangerous. And soon this sergeant will be on the receiving end of Colton's reckless driving. >> The unit that's westbound, I believe it's Flamingo, is coming right at you. He's going to be off at your left at that intersection. Go ahead. Copy's coming right through that intersection north. You still want me to move records 776 or look like come back up 41? >> Just keep the unit south because he's at high now. Looks like he's going to come back out once.

With Colton and his passenger finally in custody, there's still a lot to handle.

I don't know if that's going to be real. >> It's real. >> Yeah, it's definitely real. All right, I'm going to go grab some gloves anyway. Yeah. >> The only one with answers to these questions is Colton, but getting anything out of him is proving to be just as hard as the chase itself. >> What's up, man? I'm officer Rand North Police Department Bomber Traffic Unit. Hey, um before I talk to you, I'm going to read your rights real quick and then we're going to go from there. Okay. Yes or no? Is that a yes or no? >> True. >> Okay. You have a right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you. So, do you want to talk to me about tonight? What happened? It's your time to dispel, man. That What's Why did you run? You were in the back seat. Okay. Um, you weren't driving. Who was driving? Okay. You don't remember? All right. How much you had to drink tonight? Zero. Okay. Do you had anything to smoke? Yeah. Okay. How much you had to smoke earlier? How many hours ago? So, you said you smoked one joint. You're done answering questions. Are you willing to conduct field sobriety exercises? Make sure you're not impaired driving. Okay, that's fine. But are you willing to conduct field sobriety exercise for me? That's nothing to do with uh Miranda rightites just for DUI. Anything other than yes, I'm willing to help out, I'm going to consider as a no. So, if that's something you're willing to do, I take it as a no. Ultimately, Colton was charged with felony vehicle fleeing eluding an officer, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, misdemeanor, reckless driving, driving while revoked, driving under the influence, and refusal to submit to testing. In the end, while his bond totaled $15,000, he didn't have to pay that amount upfront and was released after posting $10,500 with a bondsman. Don't just watch, represent.
