A Bradenton man has been charged with Felony DUI after he attempted to flee a traffic stop, telling deputies that "You're just going to have to chase me." They did.


James Craig Keck was stopped at 10:20 p.m. at the intersection of 75th Street West and Cortez Road for exhibiting signs of impaired driving, including running a red light, deputies said. Keck smelled strongly of alcohol when the officer spoke to him.

When the officer asked for Keck's license, the man instead told the officer to chase him and sped off, according to a release.

Deputies pursued Keck for a short distance before he surrendered. He was arrested and charged with driving without a valid license, refusal to submit, fleeing to evade arrest and possession of a controlled substance.

Surprised he wasn't on his way to Taco Bell....
