BSO deputy placed on leave after resisting-arrest charge in Miramar, officials say
A Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy has been charged with resisting arrest after a chase to his home, Miramar police said.
After the Miramar Police Department initiated a traffic stop around 11:45 p.m. on Sunday, June 21, in the 12000 block of Saint Andrews Place, Gounot Pyram fled multiple times on foot, investigators say.
According to the arrest paperwork, Pyram, 54, was driving a Toyota truck “at a high rate of speed.” After the officer put their lights on, Pyram parked his truck and ran to his second-floor apartment, the affidavit says.
Pyram briefly cooperated with the officer, then ran again, this time up a different flight of stairs, where he entered and refused to leave his apartment, police say.
He wasn’t identified as a BSO employee until his daughter exited a bedroom in the apartment and informed police, according to the affidavit.
Police then contacted the BSO Public Corruption Unit, which “provided assistance in surveilling the defendant.”
Later, a woman drove Pyram to the BSO Public Safety Complex, where police say he was taken into custody without incident.
Pyram is charged with resisting an officer without violence, and is no longer in custody.
On Monday, the deputy was placed on administrative leave with pay and is now under an internal affairs investigation, arrest paperwork shows.
