* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Ocala, Florida — On the morning of October 24, 2023, Michael Prouty, 39, forced his way into a woman's home in the Villages and stole her purse, cell phone, and car from the garage. Later that same day, Prouty was found driving the stolen car in Ocala. Sgt. Buetti initiated a traffic stop, but Prouty fled from police. After a few moments of a vehicle pursuit, he crashed into several vehicles at the intersection of N. Pine Ave. and SR 40. After the crash, Prouty fled the scene, which left multiple people injured. As he was running away, he encountered the first citizen who was able to grab ahold of Prouty. Although Prouty broke free, he was slowed down by citizen. Prouty attempted to carjack a woman while she was in a Starbucks drive-thru nearby. Another citizen intervened and attempted to pull Prouty out of the vehicle. Prouty ran off again but was followed closely by the citizen. The citizen apprehended Prouty behind Starbucks for a few moments until police were able to secure him in handcuffs. Prouty is currently in the Marion County Jail and is facing multiple charges from the agency, including fleeing and eluding, attempted carjacking, and others. He was also involved in a robbery of a 7-Eleven convenience store in the early hours of Oct. 24, before the home invasion incident in Sumter County. Additionally, Prouty was sent to prison in 2017 for six years on burglary and robbery charges. He was released from prison in July 2022 on a community release program which he violated and committed more felony crimes in Miami-Dade County. He returned to prison to finish his initial sentence and was released in February 2023. He was turned over to Miami-Dade jail for the pending felony charges and bonded out in March 2023. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - Kha Nguyen - Maciej Jarzebowski - Lynn Boyer - 'MortimerEsq' - 'Monty' - Exus Altimus - Mateusz Adam Katana - 'Dawesenm' - Ryan Hurley - William Bowman - Paul Rohrbaugh - Tavia S - Kerrie Golden - Sandra McGreevy - Charlie Collier - 'Krazy KZ' - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - 'JTrip' - Lee Roberts - Brant Eaton - 'General X' - 'jadeennff' - James Pringle - 'AccuShoot.com' - Meighan Garrick - 'Sopaul' - 'Dabster' - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - 'Necko' - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - 'Donkbot' - Gage Kissinger - Eian Smith - 'HelloDarknessMyOldFriend' - 'coco Coco' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us at BuyMeACoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PoliceActivity Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Police_Activity 🛍️ Check out our Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/PoliceActivity 🛍️ Disclosure: Please note that we will receive a small commission from purchases made through our Amazon store.
