Robert Michael Phillips, 25, was apprehended Tuesday after he cut off an unmarked Palm Beach County Sheriff's vehicle while riding in a stolen vehicle. Authorities trailed Phillips, watching him engage in a drug transaction, before he fled from marked patrol cars. Advertisement Deputies say Phillips left his vehicle at one point, cutting through a hobby store where he barreled into a woman and dropped a loaded handgun. Authorities deployed a police dog and caught Phillips as he ran from the store's back exit. Phillips was in possession of crack cocaine, heroin, a weighing scale, hypodermic needles and $2,316 in cash. Records show he had been arrested over a dozen times and was convicted seven times on felony counts -- including a slew of weapon violations and drug possession charges -- serving nearly nine months in prison between 2011 and 2012. He is being held in Palm Beach County Jail on $242,000 bail.
