Clay county man arrested after chase

A Clay county man wanted on multiple robbery charges was arrested Wednesday after he was caught on some recently installed traffic cameras.

A Clay County Sheriff's Office communications center supervisor noticed 37-year-old William Carlson's car on traffic monitors.  The supervisor relayed location data to Clay county police officers, who intercepted the vehicle.  A short chase ensued and ended with Carlson driving his car into a retention pond.  He was taken to Orange Park Medical Center with minor injuries and then booked into the Clay county jail.

Carlson had held up a Dollar General store on Blanding Boulevard at knife point earlier Wednesday.

He will make his first court appearance on Thursday morning.
