Bond is $490,020 for man accused of ramming four cars during chase
ORANGE PARK – A man wanted in Duval County for armed carjacking and kidnapping was arrested following a high-speed chase on March 12 after a Clay County Sheriff’s Office patrol car and at least three other vehicles were rammed.
Elijah Anthony Bell, 27, of Jacksonville, was charged in Clay County with three counts of leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and two counts of attempting to flee or elude law enforcement without regard to the safety of others after a License Plate Reader signal alerted CCSO Bell’s car was near Blanding Boulevard and Constitution Drive. Bell fled north on Blanding when deputies and Florida Highway Patrol attempted to stop him.
The chase included driving through a backyard, striking a trampoline and swing set.
According to CCSO, as Bell approached Blanding and Collins Road in Duval County, Bell ran into a sheriff’s deputy’s car and then into three other cars. His truck became disabled, and he was arrested.
“The Clay County Sheriff’s Office Real Time Crime Center is a game changer,” Sheriff Michelle Cook said. “Any criminal who enters into our county should know that we see you. There is no hiding here. Thank you to our brave deputies and troopers who are on the front line keeping us safe. I am thankful that nobody was seriously injured today due to the recklessness of a dangerous criminal.”
Bell likely faces additional charges from FHP and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
His bond in Clay County is $490,020.
