Jacksonville, Florida – A high-speed chase that began in St. Johns County on August 6, 2025, concluded in Jacksonville with the arrest of a woman identified as Fallyn Zerbe, 30. Zerbe faces multiple felony charges including reckless driving, fleeing or eluding law enforcement, and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
The chase started around 2:30 p.m. when deputies from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office (SJSO) attempted to pull over Zerbe for speeding after observing her driving at high speeds on Interstate 95 (I-95). Reports indicate she began driving dangerously, attempting to collide with both patrol cars and civilian vehicles as she fled the scene.
Zerbe was seen holding a hammer out of her window during the pursuit, which exceeded speeds of 100 mph. The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) joined the chase when it reached the Duval County line and then requested assistance from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO).
The high-speed endeavor traversed Jacksonville’s Southside and downtown areas, creating significant public safety concerns and traffic delays along I-95. The chase concluded around 3:05 p.m. when a JSO officer executed a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver at Trout River, successfully bringing an end to the dangerous situation.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported for the driver of a civilian vehicle that Zerbe collided with on the Fuller Warren Bridge. The incident highlights the risks associated with high-speed pursuits and the potential dangers posed by reckless individuals on the road.
Zerbe’s court proceedings are scheduled, and according to Duval County court records, she will appear for her arraignment on August 28, 2025. As of August 19, 2025, Zerbe remains in the Duval County Jail, where her bond has been set at $407,527.
This chase stretched nearly 30 miles from St. Johns County into Jacksonville, culminating in a dangerous encounter that involved multiple law enforcement agencies. Incident reports suggest the quick response from law enforcement was critical in ensuring no civilians or officers were harmed during the high-speed chase.
In recent months, public safety concerns have been heightened due to a rise in reckless driving incidents across Florida. Law enforcement agencies continue to advocate for safer driving behaviors and emphasize the importance of adhering to traffic laws to prevent similar events from occurring in the future.
