Florida Couple Rams Police K9 And Vehicle Prior To Breaking Into Mayor’s Home
A modern-day Bonnie and Clyde story, except they’re even bigger idiots.
31-year-old Matthew Swett and 32-year-old Kaila Ellig are in huge trouble after a police chase ended with them breaking into the Haines City Mayor’s home.
It all started at a construction site at 2 AM on Monday when an officer spotted a 2003 blue Toyota. The suspects spotted the officer and the K9 and they jumped back into their car and they drove straight at the officer and the K9 and actually struck the K9 and the patrol car.
A short police chase ensued but they eventually stopped at a wooded area when their car burst into flames. They climbed a fence and cut a hole in the screened-in lanai of Haines City Mayor Morris West’s home.
After a standoff, the K9 was able to subdue Swett, and Ellig cooperated without a fight.
