Police: Man turns truck into weapon, tries to kill 2 men, destroys store in Fort Lauderdale
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Charles Flaherty implied he acted in self-defense, but detectives say witness testimony and surveillance video show otherwise.
Corrections officers have been holding Flaherty without bond at the North Broward Bureau since Fort Lauderdale police officers arrested him nearly a week ago for attempted murder.
Fort Lauderdale police officers reported stopping Flaherty, 56, on Jan. 13, while he was in a Ford F450 that had crashed into a store. Flaherty was combative, but police officers noticed that he had suffered stab wounds and tried to help him, records show.
Fire Rescue personnel took Flaherty to Broward Health Medical Center, where he underwent surgery, police said.
