Multiple agencies are on the scene of an incident along Interstate 75 on Thursday afternoon.
Collier County Sheriff's Office vehicles and Florida Highway Patrol troopers were seen surrounding a car near mile marker 100 on southbound Alligator Alley just past the toll plaza.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office confirmed a K9 deputy responded to the Best Buy at Page Field Commons for three people accused of being involved in a theft ring.
Deputies say when they arrived, they saw one of the suspects, later identified as Walter Lee Atwell, walking away.
The deputy detained Atwell and the other two passengers, Aisha Yukari Heller-Watson and Paul Fritzson, for questioning.
During the brief interaction, Heller-Watson got out of the car, and Fritzson moved from the backseat into the driver’s seat, where a physical altercation began between the deputy and Fritzson.
During that time, Fritzson started the car and reversed, hitting the deputy before speeding away.
This was connected to a scene in Collier County, according to LCSO.
The deputy suffered minor injuries and is OK, LCSO said.
Deputies said Fritzson then led deputies on a pursuit toward Collier County.
Fritzson reportedly abandoned a Nissan Sentra he was driving and carjacked a couple's Mazda CX-5 in the Gusto Bella Vita community in Naples. According to CCSO, the couple was not injured.
The chase ended near the I-75 toll plaza at Exit 101 in Collier County. Fritzson tried to run toward a fence on the roadway, but as he climbed it, a CCSO hit the fence.
Fritzson was arrested following the carjacking and the pursuit. He faces charges of carjacking, fleeing and eluding charges in Collier County. In Lee County, he faces charges of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and fleeing and eluding.
Atwell is accused of giving a fake name to deputies and was charged with Fraud (False ID Given to LEO) and for an Out-of-County Warrant. Heller-Watson faces charges of Resisting without Violence.
Fritzson fell from the fence and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
