PASCO – A Pasco County Sheriff’s Deputy is on administrative leave after he exchanged gunfire with a suspect during an incident in Holiday early this morning.
According to officials, around 1:40 a.m. deputies responded to the area of Darlington Road and US-19 after reports of a shooting. As deputies arrived on the scene, the suspect vehicle fled the area until the pursuit came to an end on Eastwood Lane. That’s when officials say the suspect fired shots and deputies returned fire. No one was injured during the incident and the suspect was taken into custody.
The identity of the suspect has not been released but officials say he faces multiple charges and the investigation remains active.
A second shooting occurred at the ICON Gentlemen’s Club in Hudson Friday, where officials say a disturbance inside the club turned violent after two patrons fired several rounds into the air. Both suspects left the scene in a single vehicle, northbound on US-19, where they later crashed and fled on foot. K-9 responded to the area but neither suspect was located.
There were no injuries reported as a result of the shooting.

Hi Tom! Since when can’t a deputy return fire if his life is in danger of being shot by suspect. I just don’t understand. But keep up the good reporting. we would miss out on so much if not for you Thanks!
He certainly can! But anytime a law enforcement officer discharges his firearm in a situation like that, it’s policy to place them on Admin Leave. Thanks 🙂
EGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGZAKLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TOM
Thank you! for clearing this up .Keep up the good work.
Tom,anything with fhp complaint?dont do it local..u need to call tallahassee main division where the colonel is…I seen the film…hes a wise guy and taunting u…make an i.a. complaint and put it in writing!!!on their official complaint i.a. form..please do article on what happens!
There will be an update soon. FHP video was not available because the Trooper did not engage his lights. Tallahassee is conducting a full investigation, despite my request for a simple apology.
ICON ,! That’s where mikes mom works!
She’s the toofless one with a bald spot.
Ud think she was the janitor, bit she’s not. She’s actually a fluffer, that’s where Mike was conceived.
How disrespectful would u want someone to talk about your mother like that l. Why don’t you show who u really r instead of private dancer scary ass bitch. U probably want his dick but he won’t give it to ya so u mad his mother is a very nice lady u scumbag..
At least he had the common sense to shoot instead of yelling show me you hands. What would happen if the perp had a mouth cannon?
The second story about the strip club shooting is hilarious to visualize. I mean they fire their guns in the air… for what? To silence the other guy? Lol. And then they leave in the same car?? I guess the argument wasn’t that serious.
Wow nothing like reporting real news real late. I guess that’s why you don’t have the date on the shooting at icon. Cause it was 2 or 3 days ago. You should say your new late.
Sorry you feel that way. Thanks for following RNRF
Hey, Private dancer, mike’s a pig, but don’t pick on the flower lady. (Mikes Mom) you got a beef…see mike…

First rule of gun safety, dont shoot until you see your target! How does the cop know what was shooting at? Or does he need more time on the range ?
“That’s when officials say the suspect fired shots and deputies returned fire”. Duh??? Shots fired, return fire.
No surprise that it started in one of Hudson’s trashy strip clubs. Garbage in and garbage out up there.
