Deputies: Florida man shot at cars along I-75 before standoff, gets tased

The Sumter County Sheriff's Office arrested a man they say was shooting at cars along Interstate 75 before crashing his truck and getting into a standoff with deputies.

Deputies say on Saturday evening they responded to calls of shots being fired on I-75 northbound.

"Callers reported the suspect was waving a gun and shooting at vehicles from a black Ford truck," the sheriff's office said. 

Deputies say the suspect rear-ended a vehicle just north of Bushnell and continued heading north on I-75. He then reportedly wrecked his vehicle at the guardrail where he engaged deputies in a standoff.

"The suspect began waving his gun, ultimately threw his weapon and took off again. A few hundred feet later the suspect wrecked for the third time, abandoned his vehicle, and fled on foot."

Authorities say they tased the suspect and successfully took him into custody.
