Jason Brown was arrested just before 6:30 a.m. on May 31, 2026, by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office on southbound I-75 near Big Bend Road for driving in excess of 100 miles per hour and recklessly weaving in and out of travel lanes in his personal vehicle before being stopped by HCSO.
“I am deeply disappointed by this incident. Driving at excessive speeds and recklessly endangering others is unacceptable and directly contradicts our department’s mission,” said Chief Lee Bercaw. “Alongside our community, I expect our officers to lead by example, and this conduct falls short of that expectation.”
Hired in 2008, Brown was placed on administrative duty due to an unrelated internal investigation. That investigation remains ongoing, and this new incident will also be reviewed as part of the administrative process.
