A man rammed a deputy’s car and two other cars as he attempted to get away from St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office deputies who were questioning him in a parking lot at the Durbin Park shopping plaza.
It was all captured on SJSO body and dash cam video during the October 21 arrest of 33-year-old Devon Spencer, which SJSO released Friday in a Facebook post.

Deputies were first called there that day about possible shoplifting at Ulta on Durbin Pavilion Drive.
They were told that a person in a green Dodge Charger was asked to leave the Ulta.
Video shows Spencer denying that he was there, and that he had been waiting for his girlfriend, who he said was shopping in Burlington.

Deputies asked Spencer to get out of the car and he refused, pulling forward and hitting an SJSO car, then backed up and scraped against two other cars before leaving the parking lot.
SJSO pursued Spencer’s Dodge Charger and was able to stop it with a PIT (precision immobilization technique) maneuver.
