On Monday, Oct. 11, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office received a ‘Be-On-the-Look Out’ for a white Ford F-250 traveling on State Road 100 that was reported stolen from Jacksonville. Shane Hendricks and Tammy Pecor were eventually arrested after fleeing from deputies; Hendricks threw tools and other objects at pursuing officers from the back of the stolen vehicle.
Upon receiving the BOLO, an FCSO deputy observed the vehicle traveling west on State Road 100 and began following it waiting for other deputies to respond. Deputies then attempted to stop the vehicle by activating their emergency lights but the driver attempted to flee.
Additional units responded to the area to deploy StopSticks and were successful in flattening three tires, but the fleeing vehicle continued onto State Road 11. The driver, later identified as Shane Hendricks, began throwing tools from the driver’s side window at pursuing deputies. Hendricks then climbed through a window into the bed of the truck while the passenger, later identified as Tammy Pecor took over driving the stolen vehicle. Hendricks continued to throw tools from the bed of the truck at law enforcement, including a large blue toolbox, a stamping machine and a sledgehammer while the vehicle continued west on SR-11 trying to avoid apprehension. The stolen vehicle finally came to a stop and deputies conducted a high-risk traffic stop. Both Pecor and Hendricks were tactically removed from the vehicle and secured.
During a search of the stolen vehicle deputies located a brown leather bag with a loaded semiautomatic firearm, a scale covered with white residue, a straw lined with a white crystalline substance, a cutting board, methamphetamine, and cocaine. It was later determined the license plate and the vehicle were reported stolen from Jacksonville.
“This was a wild and one of the most bizarre chases I have seen in my career,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “These dirtbags, with their long criminal histories, thought it was a good idea to throw tools at our deputies and flee rather than surrender peacefully. Maybe they have watched too much TV and were making a movie. They did. One that a judge will see! Thankfully, none of our deputies or anyone else was hurt by their actions. If you assault a deputy sheriff and flee, we will get you and you will still go to jail but with a lot more charges. In this case, their flight ended at the Green Roof Inn.”
Hendricks is being held on no bond. Pecor is being held on a $76,000 bond. Both have many previous arrests.
