FHP: Cantonment Man Charged With DUI After Fleeing From Trooper Twice
June 20, 2025
A 53-year-old Cantonment mans is accused of DUI and fleeing from a state trooper that pursued him twice.
Bruce Maurice Tucker was charged with DUI, fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, and resisting an officer. He was later released on an $8,000 bond.
The Florida Highway Patrol responded to a Cedar Point Road in Cantonment where they found Tucker passed out behind the wheel of his Chevrolet Silverado in the middle of the road with the engine running, according to an FHP report. The trooper activated his blue lights and woke Tucker up. He reported smelling alcohol on Tucker’s breath.
FHP said he refused to exit the vehicle and drove away, with the trooper in pursuit. He stopped a short distance later, before fleeing again with the trooper pursuing him to a yard. The trooper reported hitting a tree stump, disabling his cruiser with a bent rim and Tucker continued down the roadway.
Troopers later obtained video of the Chevy swerving in the road prior to it stopping on Cedar Point Road, and FHP identified Tucker as the driver.

I went all through elementary and highschool with Bruce Tucker, he is as cool now as he was back then! stick it to the man
So even fleeing twice is not enough to get the judge to keep him in jail?
Our legal system needs to get a spine and toughen up on the bad guys.
That or resign and get someone there that will.
This will end with him killing someone and it could have been stopped by denying bail.
$8,000 dollar bond??? After fleeing and eluding?? TWICE??? I’ll bet all this is going to do is give him excuse to do worse. He obviously has zero respect for the law, and sooner or later he is really going to hurt someone bad. He needs to spend some time behind bars and just maybe he will get the idea that the highway is not his playground.
The dude has definitely no respect for Law Enforcement, other people OR himself. All that comes back with vengeance.
