FBI Agent Assists in Foot Chase After Multiple 911 Calls Report Man Pointing Gun at Traffic 5

Adler Telfort {BSO}

An off-duty FBI agent assisted Broward deputies in chasing down a Tamarac man accused of pointing what appeared to be a firearm at passing drivers along University Drive.

According to Broward Sheriff’s Office arrest reports, Adler Telfort, 28, was taken into custody on May 13 and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of resisting an officer.

Deputies were first dispatched around 10:20 p.m. on May 12 to the intersection of North University Drive and Northwest 61st Street after reports of a man on a bicycle “yelling to himself and pointing a firearm at drivers passing by,” according to the probable cause affidavit.

Investigators said deputies had already been responding to multiple calls involving Telfort earlier that night near his Tamarac residence on Northwest 63rd Court. Deputies described him as appearing to be carrying what callers described as either a Glock firearm or a black BB gun.

One deputy reported seeing Telfort riding away on a BMX-style bicycle moments before the aggravated assault calls came in.

Two victims later told deputies they were driving south on University Drive when they saw a man matching Telfort’s description screaming to himself before allegedly pointing a firearm at their vehicle and another nearby car. The victims told investigators they feared they were about to be shot at.

The following day, deputies attempting to locate Telfort spotted a man matching the description riding a bicycle near West McNab Road and North University Drive. Deputies attempted to stop him, but Telfort allegedly fled through traffic, crossed medians, and rode through shopping plazas as deputies pursued him.

Deputies said an off-duty FBI agent assisted during part of the chase. Authorities ultimately took Telfort into custody near HCA Florida Woodmont Hospital after a second foot pursuit.

Court records show Telfort was booked into the Broward Main Jail following the arrest.

This is not the first time Telfort has faced allegations involving weapons and dangerous behavior on South Florida roadways. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Telfort was previously arrested in 2024 following a high-speed chase on Interstate 75 along Florida’s west coast.

Troopers said the incident began after authorities received a report that Telfort allegedly displayed a gun to another motorist in Lee County. FHP located Telfort driving and attempted a traffic stop, but investigators said he fled at speeds reaching 120 mph while passing vehicles on the shoulder of the highway.

The pursuit ultimately ended after troopers performed a PIT maneuver, taking Telfort into custody. Authorities said they later discovered several toy guns inside the vehicle.
