A 41-year-old man identified as James Brady was arrested Saturday evening for allegedly stealing a sheriff’s deputy’s patrol vehicle and leading officials in the City of Ocala.

Deputies first responded to a call reporting suspicious activity in the 1500 block of SE 59th Street around 5:45 p.m. Upon arrival, they contacted Brady, who gained access to the deputy’s patrol car under unknown circumstances. Brady then took control of the vehicle and fled the scene.

The chase continued along Highway 200 and Martin Luther King Boulevard, where deputies performed a PIT (Precision Immobilization Technique) maneuver to stop the stolen vehicle. The tactic commonly taught in law enforcement involves an officer’s bumper making contact with a suspect’s vehicle, causing it to turn and stop. The maneuver was successful and no injuries were reported.

The stolen vehicle was on SR 200 and Martin Luther King, Jr. He was stopped at the northwest corner of the intersection of Blvd. After the arrest, an official at the Shell market on the same corner said customers came to the market to tell him about the activities outside.

Brady was taken into custody without further incident and transported to the Marion County Jail.
