Driver crashes stolen car into gym in Bonita Springs, Lee County deputies say

Lee County detectives are investigating a stolen car crash in Bonita Springs.

Someone had reported that a car was stolen at the Holiday Inn Express on Crown Lake Boulevard, according to deputies. The office said 42-year-old Adam Taylor demanded the driver to exit the car, then fought with the victim, then stole their van.

Shortly later, deputies said, the suspect crashed it into a gym called Smash Fitness on Bonita Beach Road.

The K9 Unit responded to the scene of the crash. K9 Deputy Julian Chala and K9 Dundee began tracking the suspect through the parking lot, then found and arrested Naylor who had tried to hide in the bushes.

Naylor is charged with carjacking, driving under the influence, property damage, and leaving the scene of a crash.

Clean up is underway; however, the gym's second location in the plaza remains open and functional.
