It appeared the driver saw the patrol vehicle, because it began braking suddenly and then pulled to a stop beside an unoccupied building.
The deputy pulled up and made a traffic stop. The driver was identified as Isaiah Garcia, 19, of Haines City.
Isaiah was brought to the Polk County Jail and charged with dangerous excessive speed and reckless driving.
