GREENACRES, Fla. (AP) — A man found sleeping in his car at an intersection led police on a chase before being arrested in a Greenacres gated community.
Twenty-one-year-old Joslet Jean-Charles was asleep behind the wheel at a busy intersection around 9:30 p.m. Thursday. Police received several calls about the 2003 Ford Taurus.
Police pulled a patrol car in front of Jean-Charles, who awoke, put his car in reverse, drove around the police car and fled. He abandoned the vehicle at the gate of a development.
Police did not initially find Jean-Charles, but arrested him at an address found on a bill inside the car.
He was charged with fleeing and alluding, operating without a license, resisting arrest and a probation violation. He remains in Palm Beach County Jail on $7,000 bail.

Uh, as far as I know, “alluding” isn’t illegal. I hate to crab about this when I know it’s hectic getting the content up on the site, but let’s just say for a nominal fee I’d be glad to do some proofreading for TPM and AP as well.
Somebody should…
Alluding…
Is that over by the eluding?
How busy can they be when they’re posting local stories like this?
@Josh_M How is this TPM newsworthy? Where’s the political angle? Or the science angle? It’s just a silly little stupid-criminal story.
He was alluding to the turn he was about to make when the police blocked it.
