The suspect pulled out a gun and fired several shots in the air, police said. He then allegedly took his girlfriend’s keys and fled in her Honda Accord.
Several hours later, at around 9 p.m., HPD officers spotted the Honda Accord in the 2900 block of Rogerdale near the Westchase area. They tried to stop the vehicle, but police said the suspect sped off.
The suspect crashed into several vehicles before jumping out of the Honda while it was still moving.
Police said officers feared the suspect may be armed after they observed him reaching into his wristband.
That was when an officer fired his gun at the suspect, according to police. The bullet struck a nearby apartment but no one was struck.
The suspect eventually surrendered to police and was taken into custody.
No one else was hurt.
The investigation into this case remains ongoing.
