BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Fort Lauderdale Police Department, responsible for the arrest of an alleged murder suspect in Boca Raton on Saturday, is saying nothing about alleged crime or the arrest.
Law enforcement agencies from multiple jurisdictions told BocaNewsNow.com that the high-profile arrest on the Florida Turnpike, near Glades Road around 11 a.m. Saturday, as ultimately overseen by Fort Lauderdale PD. The City of Fort Lauderdale Police public information office did not respond to two requests for information made after the event and late Monday afternoon.
As we reported in realtime on Saturday, police apparently chased a vehicle into West Boca Raton on the Turnpike. The chase ended in the area of Glades Road where Florida Highway Patrol and a Broward Sheriff’s Office Deputy executed an arrest. Multiple unmarked cars were also on the scene — it was unclear if those vehicles were Fort Lauderdale officers.
