NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. - A man with "ice cream for a child" was arrested Wednesday after he led deputies on a high-speed chase that started at an elementary school and ended with him striking a natural gas pipeline and hitting two patrol vehicles, according to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office.
Katrail Crumley, 34, is charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding, theft of a motor vehicle, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, resisting arrest without violence and operating a motor vehicle without a proper driver's license.
Investigators said the 15-minute pursuit, which was captured on dashcam video, stemmed from a complaint about a suspicious person at Hilliard Elementary School. The person who complained reported that a man, who was later identified as Crumley, had said he had "ice cream for a child," began eating the ice cream and then asked for directions, according to an arrest report.
One parent, who wished to remain anonymous, told News4Jax that she found out about the incident on social media.
“It's really scary. What was he planning on doing, like, with the ice cream? Was he looking for a kid?" the parent said.
A deputy responded just before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday and said he spotted Crumley in the driver's seat of a Toyota 4Runner, which began to leave the parent pickup line in front of the school on Ohio Street as the deputy arrived on school grounds and then backed into a parking spot.
