What started as a traffic stop attempt involving a swerving RV ended with a crash into a tree, a short foot chase, and a Kissimmee man in custody Friday, according to deputies. The driver, 45-year-old Louis Anthony Robles, is accused of leading law enforcement on a neighborhood pursuit in a recreational vehicle before bailing out and running. Deputies say he was quickly detained and later booked into the Osceola County Jail.
Inside the RV, investigators say they found drugs. Deputies also report that occupants of two other cars were hurt in the chaos, though officials have not released the conditions of those victims. Robles now faces a stack of felony and misdemeanor counts that include DUI, fleeing to elude, reckless driving, and two counts of leaving the scene with injuries.
How deputies say the chase unfolded
According to an arrest report, a deputy spotted a white Winnie RV swerving across lanes on eastbound Osceola Parkway near Michigan Avenue shortly after 9 p.m. and tried to pull it over. Instead of stopping, the driver allegedly kept going, which is when deputies say they escalated the pursuit.
Deputies report deploying a tire-deflation device that punctured the RV’s front driver-side tire, but the vehicle kept rolling anyway. Along the way, it allegedly struck two other cars before crashing into a tree in front of a Kissimmee home. Those details, based on information from the sheriff’s office, were reported by WKMG ClickOrlando.
Suspect's record and charges
Officials identified the driver as Louis Anthony Robles and say his driving history is already lengthy. According to deputies, Robles has racked up nine prior driving suspensions and has been designated a habitual traffic offender, with his license revoked since 2021.
During the investigation at the crash scene, deputies say they located drug evidence in the RV and arrested Robles, who was taken to the Osceola County Jail. The list of charges that local outlets report he is facing includes DUI, driving with a revoked license as a habitual traffic offender, fleeing to elude with lights and sirens, reckless driving, resisting without violence, multiple possession counts, and two counts of leaving the scene with injuries, as reported by WESH.
What the charges carry
Under Florida law, fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer can be charged as a felony, and aggravated fleeing that causes serious bodily injury or death carries harsher penalties and mandatory minimum prison terms. The state also defines a “habitual traffic offender” and imposes extended revocation periods, and driving while revoked under that designation is itself a felony offense. Those penalties and definitions are outlined in the Florida Statutes and in the section on habitual offenders in Chapter 322.
Neighbors and investigation
After the RV slammed to a stop in front of the home, deputies surrounded the camper and taped off the area, turning the quiet residential stretch into an active crime scene while investigators worked. A K‑9 unit assisted at the scene, according to local reporting.
Officials say detectives collected shards of glass and other material as part of what they describe as an ongoing investigation, as first reported by FOX 35 Orlando.
Robles remains in custody at the Osceola County Jail while prosecutors review the case and consider formal filing of charges. The sheriff’s office has said it will release more information as the investigation continues, and this story will be updated when additional details or charging documents become available.
