Man jailed for running over, at CCSO deputies after traffic stop

FLEMING ISLAND – A traffic stop quickly escalated into a litany of serious charges for a Middleburg man on Sept. 27 when he ran over a Clay County Sheriff’s Office deputy’s foot with his car while attempting to flee.

Olivier Mardoche Osier, 22, was charged with aggravated attempting to flee or elude with injury, three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, driving with a suspended license, possession of marijuana and aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony after he was pulled over on Marsh Hawk Lane after a deputy saw him driving erratically on U.S. Highway 17.

According to the arrest report, Osier stopped in an apartment complex parking lot. When the deputy asked for his driver’s license, Osier put the car in gear and sped away. In the process, he drove over the deputy’s foot.

According to the report, another deputy had to “jump out of the path” after Osier drove toward him. The ensuing chase included speeds of nearly 90 mph on Old Hard Road. Osier continued onto County Road 220 and to Lakeshore Drive West. When a third deputy tried to stop him in the parking lot of Crossroad Lutheran Church, Osier steered his car toward the deputy’s cruiser, forcing him to swerve to avoid a collision. Osier then slammed into a CCSO cruiser being driven by another deputy.

After the crash, deputies eventually used a taser to subdue Osier following a brief scuffle, according to the report.

Deputies found marijuana and a rifle in the trunk.

A further investigation revealed Osier’s license was suspended in May for failing to pay a traffic fine.

Osier will be in court on Oct. 31. Until then, he will be in the Clay County Jail with a $777,028 bond.
