GADSDEN COUNTY, FL – Just minutes after it had been stolen, an FHP State Trooper observed a white truck and flat-bed trailer combination traveling eastbound on Interstate 10 near Midway in Gadsden County at 4:50 p.m. Thursday, March 21.

The vehicle combination had just been reported stolen minutes earlier.

During a brief pursuit, the driver of the stolen truck, Victordontavius Stallworth Jr., 38, tossed a firearm from the vehicle.

As the trooper followed the truck and trailer, the driver attempted to take Exit 192 but then suddenly pulled back onto the interstate.  He barely missed hitting the exit sign.

 Stallworth was arrested shortly after without incident in the Leon County rest area. He was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
