ORANGE PARK – A 20-year-old Jacksonville man led police on a high-speed chase through Orange Park and Fleming Island Monday, leaving a wake of at least four crashed cars and tying up rush-hour traffic on U.S. Highway 17.

Ayrmon Gerimiah Wilson faces a litany of charges, including aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony, possession of an unlicensed handgun, altering or removing the serial number from the handgun, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, failing to stop for a crash with injuries, leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage and attempting to flee from police officers with lights and sirens active.

According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, Wilson was seen speeding southbound on Blanding Boulevard near College Drive. Wilson made a u-turn and turned right onto Londonderry Drive and left onto Stone Haven Court. Deputy A.L. McCrea realized Stone Haven was a dead end, so he used his car to block the road. Wilson sped toward the patrol car, forcing McCrea to make evasive action to avoid a collision.

Wilson eventually turned south on U.S. 17 and he made another u-turn at the Doctors Lake Bridge, which led to three other vehicles being involved in a crash. He turned left onto Kingsley Avenue and hit another car. Wilson tried to escape by running by the Orange Park Town Hall and Orange Park Police Department. He was captured two blocks away.

Wilson remained in the Clay County Jail with an $86,021 bond.
