Sebring, Florida — On Saturday, April 19, 2025, at around 2:55 p.m., Spring Lake Market reported that 39-year-old Richard Christopher Smith of Miami had stolen several items, including several alcoholic beverages, and walked out. As deputies were on the way, it was reported that the man was in a black minivan, driving circles around the store. When deputies arrived, Smith sped off, launching a pursuit that ended several miles later in the parking lot of a business at the Sebring Airport. It was during this pursuit when Smith held a can of Ketel One vodka spritz out the window as he drove by a deputy trying to get him to stop, telling the deputy “I was just going to give you a drink, that’s it” as he passed. We don’t know if he was expecting us to just say “Cheers!” and let him go, or what. After his toast, Smith attempted to ram two patrol vehicles in the midst of getting all four tires flattened by spike strips. Smith was eventually tased in the middle of his post-crash smoke break and charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, battery on a law enforcement officer, two counts of resisting arrest, DUI, refusal to submit to a DUI test and petit theft. His bond was set at $120,000.
