Because the pursuit was endangering the public, the authorities decided to use cameras to follow the vehicle instead. He appeared to be traveling in the direction of Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.

The car had stopped in a construction zone close to the airport a few hours earlier, and authorities attempted to speak with the driver.

However, the driver, named Micheal Scott II, 32, took off on foot and ran into a nearby forested area. The suspect could not be located, even with K-9 assistance from the police.
