A police chase in Florida caught the attention of internet users due to the use of horses in the pursuit of a suspected drug trafficker.
Jordan Wilson was arrested in Jacksonville, Florida, on Tuesday (4th) after a police chase on horseback. Wilson was taken into custody on suspicion of drug trafficking.
The video shows Officer Cassie Haire on her horse named Nash when she spotted suspicious activity. With the help of other mounted unit officers, she pursued Wilson.
You can hear Haire shouting from the saddle, “Get that bad guy, Nash!” The 25-year-old suspect didn’t manage to run for long. “Dude, you’re not getting away from us while we’re on horseback,” said the sheriff.
The chase ended when Wilson was persuaded to give up his escape. The footage shows him sweating from the effort as he was placed inside the patrol car.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office page issued a statement on social media to praise the other horses involved in the operation.
“We’d like to give a big shoutout to the other crime-fighting horses, Jaxx, Judge, and Duke, for ensuring justice remained the top priority,” the post read.
Wilson was charged with resisting arrest without violence and has already been released, according to Fox13.
