Police chase through Brownwood
 

Just passed the conclusion of a chase in Brownwood. Don't know where it started, the car being chased went through the board fences on the road leading out of the square from the 4 corners ( next to world of beer). After taking out the fence, they proceeded out to the road that runs parallel to rt 44, hitting a car and smashing into a tree in the median. The female driver apparently tried to run and got tazed. I'm not sure if the sheriffs car was involved or not. It appeared there were two younger passengers in the chase vehicle who needed medical attention. I guess it was part of the show for farmers market. Whata place!!

OMG! Police used a Tazer should have used a Glock

I went to another news source and was looking for information on a recent burglary in Bonnybrook after the police went house to house in search of information about a older green Honda. I was surprised at the numb er of arrests made between Wildwood and Fruitland Park

So the car chase here is certainly not surprising.

Clearly like Willie Sutton alleged commented on why he robbed banks...because that is where the money is.

i am afraid that people of dubious backgrounds in or out of The Villages believe that The Villages is where the money is and we are going to see increasing targeting

Nah. A tazer would have been safer and more fun.:22yikes:

Are you sure you weren't watching the Dukes of Hazzards?

I hope no innocent people were hurt and I hope the bad people were rounded up and locked away.

I hope nobody got hurt also. I like how you used the term "rounded up". Very fitting for Brownwood. [emoji6]

Glad to hear that they got who ever was driving, I was south bound on Sandy nook run just south of West Torchlake road, in my Golf cart at about 1 PM, Yellow car north bound pulled out into my lane passing another car, it all happened very quickly. Yellow car was moving at 40 plus and had their foot in it. Police car was in pursuit.

I wonder if there is just as much going on in other places in Florida. We have this website to keep informed and aware and other areas do not. I know in our old place the guy behind us was broken into but we never found out until 2 yrs later.

It does seem as though most of the break-ins do take place in the newer areas around Wildwood. Not all, but most.

What you predicted?

Another thread said there three break-ins ---- Charlotte, Mallory Square and Bonny Brook. All through the lanai sliders. How close are these villages to Brownwood?

Not that close and I still have trouble with everyone making assumptions that it is Wildwood.

If it were the same person, and the timeline suggest it is, the perp would have been traveling north. Charlotte is off of Pinelles, in the southernmost villages, Mallory is very close to Lake Sumter Landing off Morse and Bonny Brook, I think is off Belvedere, not far from the high school and the triple crown executive courses.

It appears that someone either knew someone's schedules or parked and waited for someone to leave.

I agree...I have BIG TIME problems with the constant mention of Wildwood !

I have a problem with it also, but some people on this board will never let it go.

Unfortunately, it seems to be Wildwood with the most issues when you look at the crime section of the online paper. They generally seem to get more bad press than Fruitland Park or Lady Lake.

What self respecting criminal is going to say they live in Lady Lake or Fruitland Park? Everyone in the holding cell is going to laugh at you.

Yeah really. They laughed at me.:cry:

Well regarding Wildwoodi people on here don't give them a rest either. How many people living in TV are also getting in trouble lately. As for the Break Ins if I'm not mistaken 1 definitely but I think 2 didn't lock their sliding door, How many other people on here don't bother closing their garage doors or when they buy that BIG new TV or that new safe don't bother breaking their boxes down and just advertise hey look what I bought. People all over are having tough times. Yes TV is safe but we could make it safer by being smarter. If you see something that doesn't look right call someone. If you see a strange car riding around try and get the plate # and call someone. The Police can't be everywhere but we can be. Recently there were sums of money taken from two businesses in Brownwood one was an employee and I'll bet it turns out so was the other or an ex employee. Last year it happen at Evans Prairie I believe that was an ex. So don't blame it all on Wildwood people.

Some folks just have to have someone to look down on !

We dine in Wildwood a few times a month. These folks are just hard working nice people.

We also eat in Wildwood, use the Post Office, use Ace Hardware and other stores as well......good people. I suspect that those that have Wildwood phobia also have Historical District phobia.

Unfortunately the only think separating Wildwood neighborhood from Brownwood in many instances is a block wall or a fence .
Saying says goes Fences make good neighbors I would dare to say in this instance the fences aren't high enough .

Even IF we had fences 100' high all the roads in TV are open to everyone. Those looking for trouble or to make a quick buck can come from anywhere including TV. Recently there was a few break ins off Pinellas they caught the guy at a relatives home in Bonita. Or you get the landscaper or tree trimmer come knocking at doors and 3 or more people don't answer the door guess what nobody's home easy target. Before Brownwood was built we are problems in TV and it was from people everywhere including TV. So lets not beat Wildwood or anywhere else into the ground. There are trouble makers, child molesters', sex offenders, drug addicts etc. living right here in the good ole Villages. JMO

:bigbow:

You are SO right. The Villages is a really safe place to live compared to other places.

Thanks for the research. This just goes to prove how relatively safe we are here.

Does anyone know the details of this incident?

Thanks for your research.

Gee, what would you expect from a town with the word "wild" in its name?

Gives new meaning to dinner and a show

Really? Wow a true elitist position.

What does this mean??

A lot of history, maybe?

Really more Realist

The break-ins in Bonnybrook and Mallory Square are a long way from Wildwood. Isn't Brownwood actually located inside the city limits of Wildwood? How would you block people out of a public area?

I go along with most of what you say but being a child molester in the villages is a little like being a pickpocket in a nudist colony.

Sorry, not true Tom. Lots of grandchildren visit. Many children in the squares every night.
