PEMBROKE PARK, FLA. — A West Park woman who intentionally crashed into a Broward Sheriff’s Office building is facing charges of arson and burglary. Lasandra Johnson drove into the South Broward district office on Monday with accelerants in her car, deputies say.

At 11:26 a.m. March 19, Johnson crashed a Toyota Camry into the community service room at BSO’s South Broward office, 3201 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd., Pembroke Park. Following impact, a fire erupted from the car.

A worker who was painting inside the office helped Johnson out of the car. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue also responded and transported her to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood where she remains hospitalized. A BSO employee who hurt herself while evacuating was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital South as a precaution.

Investigators indicated the ‘accelerants’ may have been containers of gasoline.

Her motive remains unknown. The investigation by BSO’s Violent Crimes Unit continues.
