Ray Charron, a 37-year-old Florida man was jailed Saturday after he allegedly tried to steal a man's bike, then fled police by climbing up a tree.According to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to the intersection of Bell Lake and Padgett roads after the victim called 911 to report that his bike had been stolen.
When deputies arrived, the victim stated that he had been riding his bike when Charron pushed him off the bike and then placed it into the bed of his truck.
When the deputy tried to question Charron about the incident, he became combative and fought with the officer. When the deputy called for assistance, Charron used the opportunity to climb up a 30-foot tree.
Deputies repeatedly asked Charron to come back down, but he refused, creating an 11-hour stand-off with deputies that lasted from 2 p.m. that afternoon until 1 a.m. when Charron finally surrendered.
Charron was booked into the Pasco County Jail and charged with robbery, battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. Bail in his case has been set at $15,000.
Charron has a long list of prior offenses that include battery, domestic battery, criminal mischief, contempt of court and robbery.
