Miami Dade Corrections Official Shot During Police Chase 3/3/06 Noon Nefertiti Jaquez The suspected drunken driver who drove away for 10 miles after Hollywood police shot him early this morning is a corporal with the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department. Ronald Hill, 43, who has been on the force since 1984, is a supervisor at the Metro West Detention Center, a jail spokeswoman confirmed Friday morning. Hill is not the only Miami-Dade corrections officer who has had a recent scrape with the law. Officer Hassan Garrison was arrested last month in connection with a stabbing at a South Beach nightclub. Even after police shot him in the abdomen this morning, Hill managed to run over an officer's foot and to drive away 10 miles. The chase began as a routine 4 a.m. DUI stop in Hollywood. It ended at a Miami-Dade police substation. ''As an officer gave him a sobriety test, the man runs back to his gray, Ford F150 and flees,'' said Capt. Tony Rode. But before he sped away, two police officers ran over to the passenger side, and one shot him in the abdomen. Another officer got caught in the window of the car and was dragged a short distance. A third officer, who had his foot run over, was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. Hill drove from the 2000 block of North 60th Avenue and ended up driving himself to a Miami-Dade Police substation at 187 Street and Northwest 27th Avenue. ''He traveled westbound on Sheridan [Street] in the eastbound lanes with no headlights,'' Rode said. ``It's dangerous for motorists who could have gotten hit head on.'' Hill is reportedly at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center, where he is being treated for the gunshot wound.
