A man who was following his ex-girlfriend with a semi-automatic rifle in his SUV and fled from troopers before crashing and fleeing on foot was later taken into custody on the grounds of a Catholic school in Miami-Dade, authorities said.

Reshawd James Pond Jr., 24, of Opa-locka, is facing charges including attempted fleeing and eluding at a high speed and resisting an officer without violence, records showed.

Florida Highway Patrol officials said they received a call from the victim at around 2:40 p.m. Monday who said her ex-boyfriend, Pond, had threatened to kill her and was chasing her while armed with a semi-automatic rifle.

Troopers began a pursuit of Pond, who was in a Cadillac Escalade and was fleeing at speeds of over 120 mph in a 60 mph zone on the Florida Turnpike, an arrest report said.

Pond eventually got off at Southwest 8th Street and crashed a short time later in the area of Southwest 127th Avenue, officials said.

He fled on foot as authorities set up a perimeter, and after about an hour he was found hiding inside a maintenance shed on the property of nearby Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, the report said.

An semi-automatic rifle was recovered from the fleeing Escalade, FHP officials said.

Pond was booked into jail and expected to appear in bond court on Tuesday.
