Drug suspect leads horse-riding Fla. sheriffs on extended foot chase: video
He couldn’t match their horsepower.
Jacksonville, Fla. Sheriffs officers chased down a suspected drug perp on horseback in an extended foot-versus-hoof chase caught on bodycam camera.
Jordan Wilson, 25, had supposedly just made a suspicious narcotics handoff when JSO Officer Cassie Haire, mounted on her trusty steed Nash, spotted the possible crime and began pursuit with the help of three other mounted officers, on Tuesday.

“Get that bad man, Nash!,” Haire says, encouraging her horse as Wilson runs on foot across a busy roadway.
Wilson manages to keep some distance from the horse — the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office being forced to speed up the video release for brevity’s sake.
The suspect is warned to stop or he’ll be “run over” by the horses as he seems to make some distance as he sprints through streets and parking lots with the three horse-riding officers in pursuit.
“Bro, you’re not going to be able to outrun us on the horse,” Haire admonishes Wilson, adding, “You better stop.”
Officers would finally convince the 25-year-old to stop fleeing — body cam footage showing a sweaty Wilson being shown the back of a police cruiser.
In all, the chase went on for one-quarter of a mile before Wilson surrendered, according to Fox13 News.
“While Nash is the star of the video, we want to give a big shoutout to fellow crime-fighting steeds Jaxx, Judge, and Duke for making sure justice was the mane priority,” JSO said in a statement.
“Our Mounted Unit doesn’t just horse around when it comes to crime.”
Wilson was charged with resisting an officer without violence and has since been released, Fox13 reports.

The day has finally arrived. On July 10, hundreds of professional and amateur snake hunters entered the annual Florida Python Challenge, a 10-day race to remove as many of the invasive animals as possible from the Everglades. The person who bags the most snakes will earn a $10,000 first-place prize, while another $15,000 in payouts will go to various other categories, including for the longest snake captured.
Conservationists estimate between 100,000 and 300,000 Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) live across the state’s subtropical regions, where they have thrived as apex predators since their accidental introduction into the wild during the 1970s. Pregnant females can lay upwards of 70 eggs at a time, and each hatchling can reach an adult length of 13-feet long. Despite their population explosion, only around five percent of all pythons are spotted by the average onlooker. That means only one in about 20 snakes are noticed on any given day.
Over 600 people registered to participate in this year’s Florida Python Challenge as of July 7, according to Naples Daily News. Last year saw more than 900 local and international competitors, and the largest snake captured measured nearly 16 feet long. The annual event isn’t a free-for-all, however. Every hunter must complete a safety course prior to scouring for snakes, and while guns are allowed on private land with owner’s permission, all pythons must be euthanized as humanely as possible.
It may come as a surprise, but beheading one of the massive, coiling predators absolutely isn’t an ethical means of disposal. Because the snakes possess extremely slow metabolisms and can survive with very low amounts of oxygen, they can remain conscious (and in immense pain) for a prolonged period of time after decapitation. Instead, hunters are recommended to draw an imaginary line from each eye to the opposite jaw bone, then locate where those paths intersect. Then can then use a sharp rod or screwdriver to impale the top of the head before moving the tool in a multilateral direction to ensure an immediate loss of consciousness and a quick death. No one said python hunting was for the squeamish.
The Florida Python Challenge will end at 5 p.m. EDT on July 19, with champions announced soon afterwards.
