Watch: Florida man tries to outrun horseback officers, ends up losing

In Florida, a man named Jordan Wilson was apprehended by Jacksonville Sheriff’s officers on horseback after allegedly dealing illegal drugs. Despite trying to escape on foot, he was outpaced and surrendered. Wilson was charged with resisting without violence and later released. The mounted unit highlighted their effective crime-fighting efforts on social media.

A Florida man learned the hard way that outrunning police on horseback is nearly impossible.
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) mounted officers chased down 25-year-old Jordan Wilson on Tuesday after he allegedly handed off illegal drugs, New York Post reported.
JSO Officer Cassie Haire, riding her horse Nash, spotted Wilson making a suspicious transaction and, along with three other mounted officers, began pursuit. “Get that bad man, Nash!” Haire can be heard encouraging her horse in bodycam footage.
Wilson attempted to flee on foot across a busy street and through parking lots, but officers warned him he wouldn’t be able to escape. “Bro, you’re not going to be able to outrun us on the horse,” Haire told the suspect.
The chase lasted about a quarter-mile before Wilson finally surrendered, drenched in sweat, and was taken into custody, Fox13 News reported.
He was charged with resisting an officer without violence and has since been released.
JSO later posted about the pursuit on Facebook, saying, “Our Mounted Unit doesn’t just horse around when it comes to crime.” The department gave a special mention to Nash’s fellow crime-fighting steeds—Jaxx, Judge, and Duke—for ensuring “justice was the mane priority.”
