To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
I respectfully request access to public records related to the April 30, 2024 vehicle pursuit and arrest of Daniel Maxwell, which began in Levy County following a BOLO issued by the Chiefland Police Department and ended in Citrus County.
Specifically, I request the following:
All body-worn camera footage from deputies involved in the pursuit and arrest, particularly Deputy Nick Duncan and Deputy Kelly Kimpel.
All dash camera footage from LCSO vehicles engaged in the pursuit.
All rear-seat (in-cruiser) camera footage during Maxwell’s transport, if applicable.
A copy of any aerial footage, surveillance, or publicly released video, including the 90-second pursuit clip referenced in your May 1, 2024 press release.
Incident Summary (for reference):
Name: Daniel Maxwell
DOB: 11/23/1983
Date of Arrest: April 30, 2024
Time: Approx. 9:30 AM
Location: US 19 (north of Inglis) → Crystal River (via Citrus County)
Agencies Involved: Levy County Sheriff’s Office, Chiefland PD (BOLO), Citrus County Sheriff’s Office
Charges:
Aggravated Fleeing/Eluding Law Enforcement
Grand Theft Auto

According to the public press release, the pursuit spanned approximately 20 miles, involved speeds over 100 mph, use of stop sticks, and ended when Maxwell crashed into a tree after hitting a power pole and mailboxes. Deputy Duncan used his vehicle to block a door and prevent foot pursuit.
This request is made in the public interest, not for commercial use. The incident involves law enforcement tactics during a multi-county pursuit and questions of public safety and use of force. I respectfully request a waiver of all applicable fees and digital delivery of all responsive records.
If any part of this request is denied, please provide the legal basis under Chapter 119, F.S., and release any redacted, non-exempt portions.
Please confirm receipt and provide an estimated timeline for response.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Police Cam News
