Seminole County, Florida - On June 29, 2019, 38 year-old Rocky Rudolph Jr., of Apopka, was pulled over by Seminole County Deputy Aaron Blais for a window-tint violation. Rudolph tried to drive away, dragging Blais about 200 yards toward Interstate 4 as Blais clung onto the window, authorities say.
Blais fired his weapon during his struggle with Rudolph, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Rudolph lost control of his SUV, causing Blais to be thrown to the ground. Blais was taken to a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and released.

Rudolph ditched his SUV and ran off, prompting a multi-agency, hours-long manhunt. Inside the SUV, deputies said they found a handgun that had been reported stolen out of Seminole County in 2016.

Rudolph was found eight hours later in a vehicle driven by a family member, the Sheriff's Office said. He was taken to a hospital for a gunshot wound to the leg.

Rudolph was released from a hospital and booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford. He faces multiple charges, including attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer, and resisting an officer with violence.

Court records show Rudolph has an extensive criminal history. Records show he was found guilty and convicted in September 2012 on three charges: fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, possession of a weapon or ammunition by convicted felon, and driving on a suspended license for second time.

Rudolph was sentenced to two years and six months in prison in October 2014. He was given credit for 473 days he already served in jail. He entered the state prison system in January 2015 and was released in October 2015.
