Slow moving police pursuit for a stolen car ends in Miami Gardens with a man arrested, FHP says

A man was arrested by Miami-Dade deputies after a slow moving pursuit that ended in Miami Gardens.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said the pursuit began after 26-year-old Klaus Anthony Moise stole a black Cadillac near NW 22nd Ave. and NW 151st St.

Chopper 4 was on the scene, where you can see multiple agencies, including the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) and the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO), slowly pursuing the black Cadillac. 

Neighbors watched law enforcement follow Moise before he suddenly stopped the car.

"What was really going through my head was, 'Is he OK? Is he on drugs or something? That's weird. Why didn't you just stop?" resident Diana Jimenez said.

Several unmarked police cars then performed a PIT maneuver at Northwest 17th Avenue and 152nd Street. That is when a man was seen getting out of the Cadillac and fleeing on foot.

"I saw the guy getting out and then the cops chasing him," Jimenez said.

Moise ran into a wooded area near train tracks before officers caught and detained him. The Cadillac was eventually driven away from the scene by the owner.

"Crazy, that normally doesn't happen in front of my house," Jimenez said.

Records show Moise has an extensive criminal history, including charges of domestic violence, battery, burglary, and carjacking. He is facing charges including grand theft, driving under the influence, and resisting an officer. He is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center (TGK), and his bond is expected to be set on Thursday.
