Sarasota, Florida -- A man who apparently has trouble following directions was arrested for driving away from a Sarasota courthouse, right after being told by a judge not to drive.

Sarasota Sheriff's officials say Lashay Smith was arrested for driving with a suspended or revoked license -- for the sixth time -- and appeared before a judge on contempt charges. The judge told him not to drive, but as he left the courtroom, deputies watched as he drove off in a white Mercury sedan.

Smith, 45, was immediately taken into custody.

Sarasota, Florida -- A man faces numerous charges after he fled from police twice -- once through an elementary school playground -- and allegedly battered two people, all in one day.

Around 3:30 p.m., deputies say when they tried to stop a gray Chevy Malibu for speeding, the driver took off into a residential neighborhood off Webber Street. He then drove across the Brentwood Elementary School playground full of students and teachers, crashed through a fence and ended up on Vinson Avenue. At that point, deputies suspended the pursuit due to Kaafi's obvious disregard for others.
