ST. PETE CRIMINAL BLOG: One Mercedes, One Day, Two Different Drivers Arrested

The same 2004 silver Mercedes was the vehicle of choice for two different men arrested in Pinellas County in a 21-hour span according to a story on TampaBay.com. The first arrest took place Sunday evening according to St. Petersburg Police. That driver, Terence Morgan, was charged with driving without a license and he was not the owner of the car. The next day the same officers reported seeing the same car, with a different driver. Just like the previous day the car was once again involved in several traffic infractions.

Officers pulled the car over for the second time but on this stop the driver of the car threw the Mercedes into reverse and rammed an occupied police cruiser. The driver then tried to get away from the police by driving through a backyard fence. His attempt was unsuccessful. Donnell Clark was Tasered twice and then arrested and charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer among several other charges. Clark was not the owner of the Mercedes either.
