Palm Coast, Florida — On Tuesday, August 27, at approximately noon, the FCSO Communications Center was notified by the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office that a blue 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider, which had been stolen in Rhode Island days earlier following an armed home invasion, had fled from SJSO deputies who attempted a traffic stop and was fleeing into Flagler County. The driver of the vehicle, identified as 19-year-old Johnathan Costa, of Cranston, Rhode Island, was wanted by the Cranston Police Department and was reported to be armed and dangerous. Deputies were dispatched to the county line, and they quickly located the vehicle after it entered Flagler County and attempted a traffic stop.
The vehicle failed to stop, continuing to travel at speeds over 100 mph and narrowly avoiding colliding with multiple other vehicles on the roadway. With assistance from Florida Highway Patrol, Interstate 95 and US 1 were temporarily shut down and stop sticks were placed on multiple roadways in the vehicle’s direction of travel as deputies attempted to stop the vehicle. As the vehicle fled through a school zone on Belle Terre Parkway, deputies reduced their speed and lost sight of the vehicle. After a visual was lost, patrol units in the area searched for the vehicle near its last known location with assistance from the Real Time Crime Center, Flagler County Fire Rescue’s FireFlight helicopter, SJSO’s Main One helicopter, and FHP. Out of precaution, local schools including Wadsworth Elementary School and Buddy Taylor Middle School were briefly placed in a “secure hold†status.
Through investigative means, detectives determined that Costa had a friend who resided on Royal Palm Lane in Palm Coast. Believing that Costa could possibly be hiding there, a be-on-the-lookout was issued for the area. At approximately 4:30 p.m., Chief David Williams located the stolen vehicle behind the residence on Royal Palm Lane. Costa had attempted to hide the stolen vehicle by covering it with red and blue tarps. Unfortunately for him, the vehicle was still fully visible from the roadway. Deputies set up a perimeter around the residence and made announcements to Costa to exit. Shortly after, Costa exited the residence and was secured without incident. Costa was arrested as a Fugitive from Justice out of Rhode Island with Entering Dwelling with Felonious Intent, Using a Firearm when Committing a Crime of Violence, and Conspiracy charges in connection with the home invasion and vehicle theft.
The investigation is still ongoing and local charges may be pending. Costa was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he is being held without bond. Before Costa was apprehended, he was believed to be travelling with Logan Slezak, another suspect in the Rhode Island home invasion. However, detectives determined that Slezak was not present and was believed to still be in Rhode Island. Within hours of Costa’s arrest, Slezak turned himself in to the North Providence Police Department and he was taken into custody by the CPD shortly after.

Jealousy, the root of all evil.
Man this was so anticlimactic. Dude was neither 2 fast or 2 furious😕
Perp: “Let’s go steal a car.â€
Friend: “The Kia parked over there?â€
Perp: “Nah, I have a better car in mind …â€
Did nobody catch the officer parked on the grass listening to key glock russian cream?!!!!!!!
This guy committed armed home invasion in Rhode Island, stole this car then fled all the way to Florida and ran from FHP at 100+, just to get caught because he didn't do a good enough job putting tarps on it… Really lol?
Was hoping to see the suspect and the officer in the GT go at it for a bit 😂
the cop listening to music while he chases the suspect 🤣💀
A ford mustang sheriff car 🔥
Wrong suspect man
Word has it after he is sentenced, he faces extradition to Ferrari Headquarters.
Huh, didn't know there was a new Need for Speed Hot Pursuit out.
Wow, go figure another âš«ï¸ commiting crime no way?
this guy why. whats wrong
Fatherless behavior. Good luck entertaining Jaqw'an in prison lmao
Man, I saw the stolen Ferrari and the two Pursuit Mustangs and I was thinking, "Hell yeah! This is going to an epic chase!" And then…it wasn't. At least no one was hurt.
Gone is 60 seconds😂
He had a dream…. 😅
NFS Most wanted:
Ferrari V Mustang
too much GTA…
Another brainless, "entitled" kid who thinks he's above the law.
Work your ass off to buy something nice just to have some slimy bum come along and steal it.
Next time call lester
