Alanzo Lamart Edison was adjudicated guilty of aggravated fleeing and eluding, leaving the scene of a crash, and fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer. He was convicted in May after a trial in Lee County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 12, 2021, the United States Marshal Service was assisted by the Fort Myers Police Department to execute an arrest warrant for Edison at a Lehigh Acres home. He was wanted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When law enforcement arrived at the home to serve the warrant, Edison drove a BMW out of the garage and crashed into an unmarked U.S. Marshall\u2019s Service SUV before fleeing westbound on State Road 82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edison was seen driving on the wrong side of the road while swerving through traffic at speeds over 100 mph. Police said he ended up crashing into a Waste Pro dump truck and wrecking his vehicle. After the crash, Edison ran from the scene and got picked up by a friend who helped him flee from the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after the incident, Edison was found and taken to the Sarasota County Jail. He was later transferred over to the Lee County Jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of his sentence, Edison must pay $5,025.16 to Waste Pro for the damage done to the dump truck. His driver\u2019s license was also suspended for five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
