A white Chevrolet Corvette reported for reckless driving near South Kirkman Road and Conroy Road turned into something far more serious for Orlando police on August 20, when a routine traffic stop uncovered two handguns and controlled substances inside the car. What started as a BOLO call ended with the driver allegedly trying to rev the engine and take off before officers could search the vehicle.
According to Orlando Police
, officers responded that day to a be-on-the-lookout alert describing the white Corvette as being driven recklessly in the area near South Kirkman Road and Conroy Road. Officers located the vehicle, initiated a traffic stop, and established probable cause to search both the driver and the car, the department said.
During that stop, officers reported observing two handguns sitting on the driver's-side floorboard. Per the same account, the subsequent search of the vehicle recovered those two handguns along with controlled substances, though the exact type and quantity of the drugs were not specified in the department's post.
Driver Allegedly Revved Engine to Flee
Before the search could be completed, the driver allegedly started the vehicle, placed it in drive, and revved the engine at a high RPM in what officers described as an apparent attempt to flee, the department's account states. It is not clear from the available information exactly what happened in the vehicle immediately after that point.
A booking record hosted by recentlybooked.com lists an August 21 arrest for Henrique Veloso Zucarelli in Orange County. The listing includes charges of attempted fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, possession of alprazolam, resisting an officer without violence, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Charges Listed on Booking Record
The recentlybooked.com listing does not independently confirm that every charge tied to Zucarelli's booking stems directly from the August 20 traffic stop described by police, and no official incident report or arrest affidavit was made available to verify the full sequence of events. The booking page itself carries a standard caution, noting that it “shows arrest information only and does not imply guilt or conviction.”
No court disposition, bond amount, attorney information, or updated case status has been made public in connection with the arrest. Orlando police have not released additional details beyond the initial account of the traffic stop, the floorboard discovery, and the attempted getaway near Kirkman and Conroy.
