Overview

• Amanda Vasconcelos was detained in Orlando on Feb. 2 after a patrol car activated lights and a siren and the vehicle did not stop, with officers later arresting her at the address tied to the truck.
• She faces a third-degree felony for fleeing or attempting to elude an officer and two traffic offenses for driving without a valid Florida license and making an improper lane change.
• Police reports say she presented a Brazilian driver’s license in digital form, but authorities deemed her a Florida resident due to a valid U.S. visa and local residence, requiring a state-issued license.

• The Brazilian consulate in Orlando said it is available to provide consular assistance, and the case remains open in the Orange County court system.
