MONROE COUNTY, Fla. – A Hialeah man is behind bars after leading police on a chase down U.S. 1 at speeds topping 100 mph.
On June 12, 2026, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office arrested 28-year-old Deivys De Jesus Garcia Aguilar. He was riding a sport motorcycle at the time.
The incident started around 8:36 p.m. near Mile Marker 92. Deputies noticed the motorcycle didn’t have a visible license plate and tried to make a routine traffic stop. Instead of pulling over, Garcia Aguilar took off.
Deputies report that he hit speeds of over 100 mph while fleeing. Because of how fast he was going, the Sheriff’s Office called off the pursuit for safety reasons.
That wasn’t the end of the chase, though. The Florida Highway Patrol tracked the motorcycle down and managed to stop him further up the highway near Mile Marker 103.
Authorities confirmed that no one was seriously injured during the incident.
Following the traffic stop, Garcia Aguilar was taken straight to jail. The Sheriff’s Office booked him for reckless driving and fleeing and eluding. According to the release, the FHP also filed a litany of additional charges against him.
