A manhunt is under way in The Villages along County Road 466A.
The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a man who fled after a traffic stop at about 1 p.m. today.
A helicopter and K-9 units were brought in as part of the search.
A vehicle was pulled over and the driver, said to be 51-year-old Ronald Dale Fleck, fled on foot. A woman who was in the car with him did not flee, according to a spokesman with the sheriff’s office.
Fleck, who has previously listed addresses in Lady Lake and Wildwood, is being sought on an out-of-county warrant.
He has previously been arrested in Lake County on charges of felony domestic battery, cocaine possession and driving while license suspended.

I passed through the intersection of 466A and Buena Vista about 11:30 and two police cars were parked there, one in the grass and one in the intersection. That would mean this happened earlier than the 1:00pm reported by the newspaper.
I left home to play golf at Havana and went east on O'Dell at 12:15 and three police cars were parked on O'Dell around the Canal area and one helicopter overhead. When I returned at 4:15 the three police cars were still on O'Dell, so they aren't giving up easily.
