A 40-year-old West Palm Beach, Florida man was arrested Saturday after nearly hitting a Deputy while fleeing from the Sheriff’s Office on U.S. 1.

Jose Cervantes Barcenas was charged with fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, driving without a valid driver’s license, and expired registration.
