Reckless driving crash leads to three arrests
TITUSVILLE, Fla. (FOX 35 WOFL) - The Titusville Police report that officers responded to a traffic crash on the morning of December 29th involving multiple vehicles, which led to the arrest of one male adult suspect and two juvenile suspects.
Police say their investigation shows that a stolen white 2015 Nissan Altima and a 1993 dark gray Cadillac sedan were headed westbound on Park Avenue. The Nissan was rear-ended by the Cadillac and the collision caused both vehicles to lose control, subsequently striking a 2017 white Jeep Cherokee and a 2005 dark gray Ford F150 truck.
The adult male suspect operating the Nissan Altima reportedly fled the traffic crash scene on food. One juvenile suspect in the Cadillac also fled the scene in the vehicle and the other juvenile suspect fled on foot.
However, police say that minutes later, officers located the Cadillac in the area of Watrous Drive and Barna Avenue and conducted a traffic stop on the suspect's vehicle. The juvenile suspect, who was driving, was taken into custody without incident. The other juvenile suspect was quickly located on Bobbi Lane and arrested by police after he fled the traffic crash scene.
Police also say that within a few hours, investigative leads helped detectives locate the adult male suspect who was arrested without incident at a residence on Putter Court.
21-year-old Michael Ryan Bradshaw of Titusville was charged with Leaving the Scene of a Traffic Crash with Property Damage, Driving While License Suspended with Knowledge, and Violation of Probation. He was booked into the Brevard County Jail.
Charges are pending for the two juvenile suspects.
All suspects were transported to a local hospital for precautionary purposes. There were no other injuries.
