Pembroke Pines man accused of repeatedly ramming car into another driver, cops say
A Pembroke Pines man is behind bars after being accused of repeatedly ramming his car into another driver on a Fort Lauderdale highway Tuesday, Oct. 14, according to police records.
Kevin Grimsley, 62, was driving northbound on Interstate 95 and West Sunrise Boulevard when a school security officer saw him ramming his “white [Chrysler] PT cruiser” into a “ [gray Hyundai] Sonata” and step out to punch the driver through his window, his arrest report says.
Fort Lauderdale police responded around 6:30 p.m. to find he had already driven off, the report details, but an officer later found him stopped on I-95’s Sunrise Boulevard offramp with a deflated tire and arrested him.
The Hyundai’s driver was left with a swollen jaw and hurt shoulder from the 62-year-old’s attack, added the FLPD report. Police say he was transported by Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue for non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident started as a “verbal argument which turned physical,” FLPD spokesperson David Soika said in a statement released Thursday. Soika added that Grimsley also tried to steal the driver’s phone.
He says detectives are investigating what led up to the alleged assault.
Grimsley has no criminal history in South Florida and was being detained in Broward County’s Main Jail facility on a $35,500 bond as of Oct. 16. He faces charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, burglary with assault of battery and leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage.
