Disabled Spring Hill man with Viagra, marijuana arrested after fleeing FHP

HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A Spring Hill man was arrested for impaired driving and possession of marijuana, an arrest report states.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 27-year-old Eric Klevanosky claimed he was having a diabetes attack and was on his way to a nearby hospital.

An officer followed Klevanosky while driving on Osowaw Boulevard around 11 p.m. after noticing signs of impaired driving.

The arrest report stated that the man accelerated quickly and immediately braked, crossing the lane and weaving between lanes.

When the officer attempted a traffic stop, Klevanosky tried to stop but then fled.

The arrest report said the suspect ran a red light and ended up making a U-turn, nearly crashing into several trees. He also traveled through the yards of several houses and in the grass.

The man’s car was eventually surrounded by the FHP vehicle, where he was ordered out at gunpoint and arrested.

While inspecting Klevanosky’s vehicle, the officer found a silver backpack containing a vacuum-sealed bag marked “ICE” and a green leafy substance.

Also in the bag were a digital scale, tobacco blunts and other bags of green leafy substance. A bag labeled “Shatter” substance made from THC wax was also found.

In his wallet were two white pills identified as a generic form of Viagra.

The arrest report said Klevanosky asked to speak to a narcotics detective or VICE to negotiate a deal.

Despite claiming he had diabetes, Klevanosky refused medical attention and was taken to the Hernando County Detention Center.

He is charged with driving under the influence, fleeing law enforcement, possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana and intent to distribute.

KLevanosky is being held on a $31,100 bond.
