Pernell Shingles {BSO}
A man was arrested for the sixth time in three months after leading police on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle.
On October 17, the Lauderhill Police Department arrested a man, identified as Pernell Shingles, 33, of Pompano Beach, following a series of offenses that began with a stolen vehicle pursuit.
According to arrest records, the incident began near the 3400 block of West Sunrise Boulevard and concluded after a short foot chase in Fort Lauderdale near the 1300 block of Northwest 19th Avenue.
Records show Shingles was driving a vehicle reported stolen in Plantation earlier that day and was spotted by an officer who unsuccessfully attempted to initiate a routine traffic stop.
Multiple officers trailed the car, coordinating with Broward Sheriff’s Office Aviation to assist as the chase progressed eastward on Sunrise Boulevard.
As the pursuit entered Fort Lauderdale, Shingles parked near the block of 1100 Northwest 11th Street, where a female passenger frantically exited the vehicle.
As the women ran away, Shingles reversed the stolen car into a fully marked Lauderhill patrol vehicle, causing upper back and neck injuries to the officer seated in the patrol car’s driver seat. Shingles then shifted the vehicle into drive and fled the scene.
The report shows that officers continued their pursuit until the chase ended near the 1300 block of Northwest 19th Avenue, where Shingles abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.
After a brief chase, he was apprehended by Lauderhill officers.
During the chase, Shingles sustained injuries while attempting to escape over a chain-link fence. He was taken to Florida Medical Center for treatment.
The arrest report shows that while in custody, Shingles was asked why he fled, to which he stated, ‘I did not want to be caught by the police,” and later added that he believed it was the will of God that he was eventually arrested.”
Shingles were arrested and transported to the Broward Sheriff’s Office Main Jail.
The arrest marks Shingles’ sixth since August 19, adding to a list of charges that include domestic violence, second- and third-degree felonies, along with grand theft and assault on a law enforcement officer stemming from his most recent incident.
