What started as a traffic stop attempt involving a swerving RV ended with a crash into a tree, a short foot chase, and a Kissimmee man in custody Friday, according to deputies. The driver, 45-year-old Louis Anthony Robles, is accused of leading law enforcement on a neighborhood pursuit in a recreational vehicle before bailing out and running. Deputies say he was quickly detained and later booked into the Osceola County Jail.
Inside the RV, investigators say they found drugs. Deputies also report that occupants of two other cars were hurt in the chaos, though officials have not released the conditions of those victims. Robles now faces a stack of felony and misdemeanor counts that include DUI, fleeing to elude, reckless driving, and two counts of leaving the scene with injuries.
How deputies say the chase unfolded
According to an arrest report, a deputy spotted a white Winnie RV swerving across lanes on eastbound Osceola Parkway near Michigan Avenue shortly after 9 p.m. and tried to pull it over. Instead of stopping, the driver allegedly kept going, which is when deputies say they escalated the pursuit.
Deputies report deploying a tire-deflation device that punctured the RV’s front driver-side tire, but the vehicle kept rolling anyway. Along the way, it allegedly struck two other cars before crashing into a tree in front of a Kissimmee home. Those details, based on information from the sheriff’s office, were reported by WKMG ClickOrlando.
