According to the Florida Highway Patrol, troopers observed multiple vehicles weaving through traffic and performing burnouts during an illegal vehicle takeover on eastbound State Road-580, also known as Hillsborough Avenue.<\/p>

One trooper attempted to stop a white Dodge Challenger that was driving recklessly, but troopers say the driver accelerated away on westbound Hillsborough Avenue.<\/p>

A trooper in pursuit caught up with the Challenger, when the driver slowed down before suddenly driving off again at a high rate of speed.<\/p>

The trooper then executed a PIT maneuver, immobilizing the Challenger at 1:34 a.m.<\/p>

The driver, Rodrigo Rivera-Montano, 18, was placed into custody and booked into jail.<\/p>

Rivera-Montano faces charges of unlawful racing on a highway and a felony charge of fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer.<\/p>
