A heavily intoxicated driver has just plowed over barriers and onto the course of the Jacksonville Ironman triathlon and he's not stopping. >> Oh, he broke it. >> With thousands of athletes and spectators completely unaware and totally [music] defenseless, police are in a frantic race against time to stop the threat. We break down the pursuit and look at the legal aftermath on today's episode of Justice in America. >> He is heading towards the runners. Stop him. >> May 16th, 2026, [music] 4:20 p.m., Jacksonville, Florida. It's the inaugural Jacksonville Ironman triathlon and nearly 2,000 athletes [music] representing more than a dozen countries are here to take on the grueling 140-mile course that winds its way through the streets of downtown Jacksonville. All is going according to plan until dispatch radios out a critical warning. A white sedan has bypassed the barricades and is currently driving through the active race course. As officers begin the frantic search for the white sedan, you can see from the dashcam just how dangerous [music] this situation is as the athletes are caught completely by surprise as the car drives just feet away from them. As the suspect flees, he crosses directly through the path of the runners who are so [music] completely focused on the race that they don't even notice the police pursuit happening right in front of them, which is exactly what makes this situation so dangerous and why officers are so desperate to get him stopped. For a moment, it seems as though the suspect may be coming to a stop. He instead, however, crosses back onto the course, narrowly missing a rider. As the car continues to ignore sirens, motorcycle officer Aaron Sanchez puts his own life on the line as he positions his motorcycle in between the race participants and the fleeing suspect, eventually bringing him to a stop. But it's short-lived as the suspect [music] drives onto the shoulder and around the officer and continues on through the race. >> [music] >> Where is I going? South. Speed's 50 60. That's it. I'm going to got to stop this guy. He's going to kill somebody. Pit pit pit. >> The driver is 62-year-old Darrell Simmons and he surrendered without further incident. This was his third DUI arrest in the past 10 years. He was charged with six felony counts, including felony DUI, driving on a suspended or revoked license, and resisting an officer without violence. Simmons pled not guilty to all charges and is currently being held on a $215,000 bond. Because of his status as a habitual felony offender, Simmons faces up to 7 years in state prison if convicted. What do you think? Is 7 years in prison an appropriate punishment? Should he be given a lifetime driving ban as well? What do you think of Officer Sanchez's decision to place himself and his motorcycle between the suspect's car and the race participants? Let us know what you think in the comments and thank you for watching this episode of Justice in America. Stay safe.
