Pursuit Ends with Arrest
On Saturday, April 16, 2005, at approximately 11:12 AM the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a report about an aggravated battery to a law enforcement officer. The incident occurred at Handy Court and Henderson Avenue, Fort Myers, Lee County, Florida. Lee County Sheriff's Deputies responded.
A vehicle pursuit was initiated after Corporal Artie Eggeling attempted to make contact with a citizen. The man entered a green, 2003 Mitsubishi convertible then accelerated directly at the deputy. The car struck the officer's forearm as he tried to avoid being struck. The driver fled driving through numerous stop signs and traffic signals eventually getting caught behind vehicles at the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Ortiz Avenue. As deputies attempted to converge on the subject, the driver ran the car into the rear of a vehicle directly in front of him forcing that car to strike a van. The fleeing felon accelerated past the crash scene and headed northbound on Ortiz Avenue to Palm Beach Boulevard, west to Marsh Avenue, then circling back east and north to Palm Beach Boulevard. During the maneuver the suspect struck a patrol car occupied by another deputy near Scott Avenue.
The vehicle pursuit continued as the suspect vehicle entered southbound I-75, exiting at Luckett Road west to Ortiz Avenue where he turned south. The suspect continued through two major intersections before getting boxed in by patrol units near Bernwood Place, just north of the intersection of Winkler Avenue Extension. The suspect drove off the roadway into a large grassy area and finally came to rest where he was taken into custody without further incident.
Due to the nature of the incident, Detectives with the with the Lee County Sheriff's Office Auto Theft Unit were notified and instructed to assume the investigation. The Fort Myers Police Department investigated the traffic crash which reportedly resulted in injury to two persons. Corporal Eggleing was not seriously injured.
So far, the investigation revealed the suspect vehicle was being reported stolen as the subsequent events unfolded. The victim's identification, cash and other items were found in possession of the suspect. The suspect has been identified as listed below and charges are pending further investigation. Possible charges include: two counts of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer; one count each of grand theft auto, aggravated fleeing and eluding, leaving the scene of an accident involving injury, leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage, petit theft and driving while license suspended. Additional charges may be forthcoming.
Arrests 1 Joshua M. Estes, 2935 S.E. 15th Place, Cape Coral, FL. White male, age 28.
The defendant will be transported to the Lee County Jail for booking and a mugshot will be available on the Sheriff's Office website at http://www.sheriffleefl.org, although one already exists after an arrest earlier this month.

Update - The person who was named in this article has had a drug problem for many years and has since realized how much damage he has done to friends, family and people he didnt even know. People can change and he is doing every thing he can to improve himself so that he doesnt hurt anyone ever again including himself. 5/29/07
The named person in this article is my Step-Son. I know that his choices in his life have hurt many that truly love him, his parents, his siblings, his CHILDREN and his friends. When someone has an addiction, they care not about anyone or anything. As sad as this article is, it was the turning point in his life. In my opinion, it is what has saved this precious persons life. It was not the life I thought he deserved or wanted but it was his choice. Now he is clean, sober, drug free and back to the person we all fought so hard to get back. I love him unconditionally, without judgement and he knows that no matter what he has done in the past the future can be different. He is doing well and it is so wonderful to see him smile again.
I've known Josh since he was a child. He is kind,caring,and has been lost at times. Not a path that he chose entirely on his own & I know him well wnough still to toell you that he'd be the 1st to admit ,that no matter what the circumstances may have or have not been,he's made some poor choices. he knows that now,knew it always......... He deserves love and respect as any other human
being.
My son, who was a childhood pal of Josh's is now a N.Y.C. Police Officer. Funny thing is they really are not all that different. Integrity matters to them both, they 've jut taken varied paths to learn that. They are both men with families,feelings,and intelligence. Josh will do what he needs to do. Everything's for a reason,he knows that.I admire his ability to accept the consqequences of his actions ,choices ,& past lifestyle. It is what is is,ya know?! I love ya kiddo........xo,"VT. MOM"
What purpose does this article serve? You are not an intimate family member of this person, nor do you have any rights to claim to be... People make mistakes and displaying it for the world to see serves no purpose..It is petty and childish mabye you need to get a hobby or something and find real members of your family to harass!!!
