TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – An armed robbery suspect was arrested in Florida on Monday, but not before he tried jumping from balcony to balcony to avoid being captured by deputies, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Jorge Garcia-Palacio was believed to have been involved in multiple armed robberies across the Tampa Bay area over the last few weeks, deputies said.
Garcia-Palacio was seen at the Godfrey Hotel on Rocky Point. When detectives knocked on his door, he opened it, then locked it immediately after seeing the deputies, according to the sheriff’s office.
He began jumping from balcony to balcony, from the sixth floor down to the second, to avoid being arrested, deputies said.
Garcia-Palacio was eventually taken into custody and is facing multiple charges.
