Dashcam Captures FHP Trooper PIT Maneuvering Opa-Locka Captain

Opa-Locka, FL - A Florida Highway Patrol trooper's high-speed pursuit took a surprising turn when their PIT maneuver on a suspected fleeing vehicle ended up targeting an Opa-Locka police captain.

At around 10:35 PM on November 29th, Trooper Walner Wroy received reports of a reckless driver leaving a traffic stop on State Road 826.

Spotting a dark-colored Kia Stinger matching the description, Wroy initiated a pursuit with sirens and lights activated.

The chase continued for several miles as the Kia ignored red lights and weaved through traffic.

Fearing the driver posed a risk, Wroy executed the PIT maneuver on Northwest 12th Avenue, causing the vehicle to spin out.

However, the moment the Kia came to a stop, an unexpected development unfolded.

The driver, instead of being a suspected criminal, identified himself as Captain Cory Krotenberg of the Opa-Locka Police Department.

Opa-Locka police clarified that Krotenberg was involved in a multi-agency gang task force operation at the time.

He was pursuing a suspect vehicle linked to a violent crime with the assistance of a police helicopter overhead.

Both the FHP and Opa-Locka police defended their officers' actions.

FHP stated that Wroy acted based on "available information and reasonable belief," while Opa-Locka maintained Krotenberg did not violate any departmental policies.
