The man accused of stealing a Ferrari and then crashing into a police cruiser and utility pole in Brickell is expected to appear in court on Wednesday.
Deshawn Prendergast, 28, is now in jail after being released from a hospital after getting injured in the violent crash.
The Ferrari’s owner said the vehicle was stolen after a car wrap company hired someone to transport the car to a warehouse, and somewhere along the way it was stolen.
Investigators said police spotted the Ferrari and tried to pull Prendergast over.
Police said Prendergast tried to flee but ended up hitting a police cruiser and then violently crashed into a utility pole, snapping it in half as sparks went flying.
Investigators said they found Prendergast a block away from the scene, adding that videos from nearby buildings showed that he matched the description of the person from the crash scene.
