VIDEO: A Dixie County man is facing some serious charges after he allegedly attacked two first responders.
It happened Tuesday morning around 7 a.m. on Interstate 10, near Caryville.
Bonifay Fire Chief Larry Cook said the Bonifay Fire Department, Washington County Sheriff’s Deputies, Five Points Volunteer Fire Department, and the Florida Highway Patrol all responded.
“We were paged out for a motor vehicle accident on I-10 around the 107-mile marker,” Cook said. “We got there to a fully involved vehicle. After the fire was extinguished we were looking for the driver or occupants and didn’t see any in the burned-out wreckage.”
Cook did a perimeter search and found 55-year-old David Lovvorn in the woods.
“When I approached him and asked if I could help him he said that he would kill me,” Cook said. “That’s all he said.”
