Recently out of prison for vehicular homicide, Daytona man again flees at high speed

A Daytona Beach man recently released after a 10-year prison sentence for vehicular homicide was arrested again this weekend after he fled from Volusia County Sheriff’s deputies.

Deputies say 25-year-old John Mai narrowly missed hitting several vehicles and eventually crashed into the front porch of a house.

Mai was charged with fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement as well as half-dozen other charges. He was released from the Volusia County Branch Jail on Sunday morning after posting $12,500 bail.

In 2011, Mai was sentenced to 10 years in prison for vehicular homicide, aggravated fleeing and grand theft auto after he crashed into a car while speeding away from a January 2010 attempted traffic stop in Daytona Beach. The crash killed Paul E. Outzen.
