Deputies responded to Dandurand's ex-girlfriend's home in St. Johns County, where she was found unharmed and was aware of the threats made against her.

Investigators said they also learned that Dandurand possibly had an assault rifle. Deputies found him about a mile from his ex-girlfriend's home, where he tried to flee from a traffic stop.

Dandurand drove recklessly over an embankment, ran a red light and drove southbound in the northbound lane on U.S. 1, deputies said.

Deputies performed a PIT maneuver on Dandurand's vehicle, causing him to drive into a ditch, where he was secured without further incident.

He was found in possession of a fully loaded SKS assault rifle that was allegedly stolen in a Flagler County burglary, deputies said.

Dandurand was booked into the St. Johns County jail, where he remains without bail. Deputies said the investigation is ongoing.
