Man Repeatedly Rammed Ex’s Car to ‘Talk,’ Deputies Say

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL — A 24-year-old Wesley Chapel man is in hot water after Pasco County deputies say he went too far in an attempt to get his ex to “talk.” According to the agency, the man used his Audi to ram the woman’s Honda Accord several times Tuesday afternoon while the two were driving on State Road 54.

Deputies say Tevin Pearson “intentionally” struck the woman’s vehicle at 20 mph while the two were driving on the busy roadway near Smith Road. Pearson, an arrest report said, once had a domestic relation with the victim. The two have an 18-month-old son together.

After ramming the woman’s car, deputies say Pearson took off toward Tampa, but was later questioned about the incident. Pearson, the arrest report noted, did cooperate with the investigation.

Pearson “admitted to trying to cut off the victim in attempts to talk with her and he also admitted he bumped her vehicle on State Road 54,” the arrest report noted. Following his arrest on aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charges, Pearson told the deputy he “knows he did wrong,” the report said.
