The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office used Police Service Horse Nash to arrest a man accused of handling illegal drugs Tuesday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A man was arrested Tuesday after Jacksonville Sheriff’s officers used a police service horse to chase him down.

The agency said Jordan Wilson, 25, was accused of handing off illegal drugs.

Body camera footage show multiple mounted units talking to Wilson, who turns around and runs through a road, causing a driver to slam on their brakes. An officer riding Police Service Horse Nash tells Wilson to get on the ground or he’ll “get run over.” They run through a parking lot and past a restaurant’s drive-thru.

“Get the bad man,” the officer states.

After a quarter-mile chase, Wilson surrendered to officers, police said.

“He didn’t count on your JSO Mounted Unit being hot on his tail. Police Service Horse Nash, with Officer Cassie Haire in the saddle, galloped into action, proving that criminals can run, but they can’t hide from our horsepower!” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook.

Wilson was charged with misdemeanor resisting an officer without violence and was released Wednesday.
