OCALA, FL– James Marion Brady, 42, was convicted on charges of Burglary of an Authorized Emergency Vehicle, Fleeing or Attempting to Elude, and Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle following a one-day jury trial in Marion County.
Judge Peter M. Brigham imposed a sentence of 20 years in prison.
The convictions relate to an incident on October 26, 2024. Deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to a suspicious person report off SE 59th Street in Ocala. Upon contact, Brady stated he had used drugs and required medical assistance.
While awaiting emergency medical services, Brady entered a parked patrol vehicle and drove away, initiating a high-speed pursuit. The vehicle was subsequently immobilized, leading to Brady’s arrest.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorneys Meredith Poisson and Madison Bryan from the Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office. Nothing further at this time.
