FHP: South Florida man says he purposely hit trooper’s cruiser so he could be ‘taken to jail’
BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – A Boca Raton man purposely crashed into a state trooper’s cruiser on Interstate 95 early Wednesday morning in order to be “taken to jail,” according to a Florida Highway Patrol arrest report.
The report states that Trooper Bernex Vincent was working an off-duty detail in a construction zone in the northbound lanes of Interstate 95 just south of the Interstate 595 interchange in Broward County.

Just after 1:35 a.m., a man driving a white 2011 Subaru Outback went through the traffic cones and hit Vincent’s cruiser, the report states.
