ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A man was arrested Saturday after troopers say he fled from a traffic stop, reaching speeds of over 100 mph.

According to the affidavit, Emanuel McKinnie, 32, was driving a black 2009 Nissan north on Interstate 275 in the right lane.

The affidavit said that near the entrance ramp to I-275 North from 54th Avenue, a trooper noticed McKinnie was driving without a headlight and attempted to pull him over for a routine traffic stop.

McKinnie then fled from the trooper at speeds reaching over 100 mph, running three red lights, despite the trooper’s emergency lights and sirens being activated.

According to the trooper, McKinnie then proceeded to park in a driveway on 94th Avenue N and fled on foot before being apprehended by an SPPD K9.

Florida Highway Patrol arrested McKinnie, and he is facing multiple charges.

FHP also said that McKinnie already had an outstanding warrant in Pinellas County for failure to appear and three warrants in Hillsborough County for aggravated stalking, threatening and harassing phone calls, and sexual cyber harassment.
