A Florida man is accused of driving through a port checkpoint and running over a fence.

Gregory Roundtree, 25, of Hallandale Beach, drove his 2009 Nissan Murano through a Broward Sheriff's Office checkpoint at Port Everglades on Sunday after a deputy called for backup when he saw Roundtree in a possibly impaired state, according to WPLG.

Roundtree’s vehicle plowed through the lower checkpoint arm and was later seen running a red light just east of the checkpoint. He refused to pull over when a deputy tried to conduct traffic stop, driving through a construction fence, WPLG reported.

Roundtree also crashed into a closed and guarded gate while traveling along a dock, which left an entire fence tangled in the front of his vehicle, according to WPLG.

He eventually pulled over and jumped in nearby water, but only after his attempted escaped resulted in approximately $12,000 of total damage, police said.
