TAMPA, Fla. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said a suspect was arrested after hitting an HCSO deputy with his vehicle while attempting to evade arrest.
On Jan. 24, around 1:07 p.m., deputies arrived at an RV park on Williams Road in Tampa to find the suspect, Logan Williams, 27, who was allegedly involved in an aggravated battery incident.
