"At one point, Pascual turned off his headlights in an attempt to conceal his location in the foggy conditions," the sheriff's office said in post on its Facebook page. "When the deputy activated his lights and siren, Pascual ran a stop sign and fled from the deputy, driving through a residential neighborhood before eventually stopping the vehicle.
The agency said Pascual refused to open his window or comply with commands, but after multiple attempts eventually complied.
Pascual was arrested and taken to the Martin County jail.
He faces a charge of reckless driving and fleeing and eluding.
The sheriff's office said he is from Guatemala and has now been placed on an ICE hold.
