Authorities have reported that a man was taken into custody after stealing a Homestead police car and crashing it on Monday. The incident unfolded when officers from the Homestead Police Department responded to a rollover accident at the intersection of Northeast 8th Street and N. Homestead Boulevard.

Upon arrival at the scene, law enforcement officials discovered a suspect, later identified as 42-year-old Johnny Lott, along with items linked to the crash investigation. Despite being instructed to leave the area by an officer, Lott disregarded the directive and proceeded to enter a marked police vehicle before driving away.
