You're You're under arrest for fleeing and eluding law enforcement. >> What? >> Police are investigating a traffic accident until a Mustang comes ripping past at full speed. An officer motions for the driver to stop, but instead of slowing down, she accelerates and blasts right by him. >> I walked out, flagged you down, told you to stop, and you rapidly accelerated away from me. >> She weaves around multiple vehicles in a no-passing zone, refuses to brake, and even accelerates so aggressively the officer has to move to avoid being hit. >> Sir, I was almost in the roadway. The reason I didn't go all the way in the roadway is because she was going so fast I didn't want to get hit. >> And then, just minutes later, the car is found parked at a friend's house. Officers track down the driver, and what happens next isn't an apology. It's pure attitude. >> I wasn't going 60. That's a hearsay. >> Stay to the end because the way this escalates doesn't just end in charges, it ends with her future nursing career going up in smoke. >> So, you just totally screwed your whole nursing degree, everything. You just did it because you're being terrible. >> On October 3rd, 2025 at approximately 10:50 a.m. in New Smyrna Beach, Florida on Pioneer Trail, an officer working a hit-and-run crash suddenly hears a white 2024 Mustang screaming up the road. 19-year-old Tara Ashley Palmieri. He gestures for her to stop, and instead she floors it, blasting past him and every command to pull over. Minutes later, police find Tara at a friend's house where she gives them a full attitude and ends up ruining her nursing career. >> The police department. >> 911 central. >> See him anywhere? 10-15 Delta 31 10-15 Delta >> Hi there.

Yes, ma'am. It's all on body cam. Nope, I walked I walked out of the road and was telling you to stop. Yeah, correct. I was telling you to stop. It's all on body cam. You're under arrest for fleeing and eluding law enforcement. Come here. Yeah, you can call her mom. Is that is that her phone right there? 901 to central. I have a female 10-15. Got a female for a search. And I'll be at 2793 Neverland Drive. I am a law enforcement officer, fully uniformed, telling you to stop because you're passing all those cars in a double yellow. You No, you passed multiple. It doesn't matter. I You still fled law enforcement. And then you rapidly accelerated as you went by me. You didn't stop, didn't do anything, didn't even hit the brakes. No, you weren't. Can I talk to someone else? It was just me there. I don't know who you want to talk to. Who do you want to talk to? Yeah, he's on his way. You're more than welcome to, but that's fleeing and eluding law enforcement, so.

Do you have anything on you cuz I have a female that's going to come search you? >> No. >> Okay. Um >> 12 minutes >> Huh? >> 12 minutes >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, no, I literally was at a clubhouse on Pioneer. I heard her car accelerating rapidly. So, I look and she's in the middle of passing vehicles coming back over I'm in the road. Hands up telling her stop. Clearly look like a law enforcement officer. No brakes, no no lights, nothing. She just keeps going, guns it. So, that's fleeing and eluding all day long. >> Okay. Can we go to court for this? >> Absolutely. You're going to be going to court no matter what. >> And you said you have it on dash cam? >> I have it on body cam. >> Okay. >> Even better cuz I was right there. >> Oh, okay. >> So, what's your name? >> Tara Palmieri >> Palmieri? >> Yes. >> T A R A your first name? >> P A L >> Yeah, I ran it. >> M I D I R I >> P A L M I D I R I What's your date of birth? I know, I agree fleeing law enforcement is pretty ridiculous. I absolutely agree. >> Hey Dad, they're arresting me for fleeing and eluding. I passed in a double line and then officer came I said I'm getting arrested because an officer said I was fleeing and eluding. I was driving on Pioneer Trail. He came out and ran in front of like he he half ran in front of my like he didn't even fully run in front of my car. And then um now I'm getting arrested for it because I parked at the because he said I was fleeing, but he wasn't even behind me with lights on or anything. >> Doesn't matter. Don't need to be. Thank you. I absolutely don't need to have lights sirens activated. I'm a fully uniformed law enforcement officer telling you to stop. >> Can I talk to him? >> Officer Rhea >> Okay. >> Hey there, it's Officer Rear, Huntington Beach Police Department. Oh, okay. Good, good. So, literally, I'm in the middle of the road and I'm a fully uniform police officer telling her to stop. Not only did she not even apply the brakes, she rapidly accelerates away from from me to the point I have to run, get jump in my car, which was parked several hundred feet away cuz I was investigating a hit-and-run crash. And now all of a sudden she's gone nowhere, so then I obviously find the car and make contact with her. So, I don't need to have lights and sirens on behind or anything like that. I'm a fully uniform police officer. I was giving clear hand signals to stop. I have a witness who was the victim of my hit-and-run crash who watched the entire thing. So, you know, of course that meets statutory requirements for for fleeing and eluding. I I I don't mean to be a jerk about it or anything like that, but that's that's where we're at, okay? >> Um how far did she go from when you tried to gesture her to stop? >> over a mile. I mean, she's over at 2719 or 2793 Neverland Drive and this was at Clubhouse and Pioneer when I was telling her to stop her vehicle. So, she didn't try to pull off the road down the street, nothing like that. >> Uh so, what what do you got? Have you contacted your mom yet? >> She won't answer. >> Okay, so you're going to So, you you'll probably be in in jail for the weekend then. >> Yeah, okay. >> So. >> Because uh you're not going to get get out right away.

I just saw a person in white and black and then >> Doing this. Pulling out >> one hand out and it wasn't like he was in front of my car like that. He was just He like literally was from the side, like completely to the side. I wasn't going 60. That's hearsay. I was not going 60. From 30 to 60, I can't just do that when I'm in the other lane going over to the other side. He didn't. He didn't. He came over and found my car and pulled me >> It's all on body cam, sir. I was almost in the roadway. The reason I didn't go all the way in the roadway is cuz she was going so fast I didn't want to get hit by her cuz obviously I could see that she was not slowing down. >> What he thinks. >> Okay. Terry, you're being so cocky. >> I'm actually an instructor for speed measurement, so smart. >> I'm not laughing. >> I wouldn't be laughing. It's a felony. You committed a felony.

And now you're done because you're so god damn arrogant and cocky the whole damn time when you could have talked to the officer normally, but you didn't.

Thanks, dude. >> Tara was arrested for fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, which is a felony in the state of Florida. A felony conviction can prevent someone from obtaining a nursing license in Florida, which is why this case could have serious long-term consequences beyond the arrest itself. Her bond was set at $2,500, and she was released after a family member posted bail. Her court date was scheduled for December 3rd, 2025, and as of now, there doesn't appear to be any additional publicly available information on the outcome of the case. It's unclear whether the charge was later reduced or resolved differently, especially given that there's no known prior criminal history.
