Holmes County, FL (WDNews) – On November 7, 2024, a routine traffic stop on Highway 90 near Meredith Lane escalated into a high-speed pursuit, culminating in the arrest of an Indiana man. A Holmes County Sheriff’s deputy initiated the stop, during which the driver refused to provide identification, falsely claiming to be a federal agent exempt from such requirements. The deputy informed the driver that failure to provide identification would result in arrest and called for additional units.
While awaiting backup, the driver fled eastbound on Highway 90, reaching speeds exceeding 100 mph. The pursuit continued until another deputy deployed spike strips in Caryville, successfully deflating the vehicle’s tires. The driver then pulled over to the shoulder and was taken into custody without further incident.
The suspect was identified as Keith Fulford from Indiana. He now faces charges of fleeing and attempting to elude law enforcement, as well as reckless driving. Authorities are also investigating his false claim of being a federal agent.
