WENGNews writes, "SARASOTA COUNTY DEPUTIES ARRESTED A SARASOTA MAN NOT LONG AFTER HE ROBBED A BANK ON FRIDAY. DEPUTIES SAY 41 YEAR OLD DAVID SPOSATO WALKED INTO THE SYNOVUS BANK ON SOUTH TAMIAMI TRAIL AT ABOUT 3:30 FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND HANDED THE TELLER A THREATENING NOTE DEMANDING CASH. THE TELLER COMPLIED, AND SPOSATO FLED IN A RENTAL VAN. DEPUTIES SPOTTED IT A SHORT TIME LATER IN THE AREA OF SIESTA DRIVE AND TUTTLE AVENUE, BUT WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VAN, SPOSATO SPED OFF AND A CHASE ENSUED. DEPUTIES DEPLOYED STOP STICKS AND A PIT MANEUVER WHICH FINALLY STOPPED THE VAN, BUT SPOSATO ESCAPED INTO THE WOODS. HIS FREEDOM WAS SHORT LIVED, AS DEPUTIES QUICKLY CAUGHT UP TO HIM AND PLACED HIM UNDER ARREST, CHARGING HIM WITH ROBBERY, FLEEING TO ELUDE LAW ENFORCEMENT, OBSTRUCTING OR OPPOSING A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, RECKLESS DRIVING, AND DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE.
