A former jockey set his ex-wife's house in southwest Marion County on fire after an apparent domestic dispute Tuesday night, then led deputies on a multi-county chase using different vehicles — one of them was a Dodge Charger painted to look like the “General Lee” from the TV show “The Dukes of Hazzard,” according to news reports.

Oswald Pereira, 44, was taken to UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville after suffering burns on 15% of his body. He faces charges such as fleeing and eluding, violation of a domestic violence protection order and assault on an officer, according to news reports. He also could face arson charges, pending a State Attorney's Office investigation.

Pereira fled the scene, then led deputies on a chase in a Dodge Charger painted to resemble the General Lee, according to reports.

He ditched the Charger and took off again in a white GMC Yukon, leading authorities through Marion and Levy counties. They used a "PIT maneuver," or pursuit intervention technique, to knock the SUV off the road. Pereira was arrested after running into a mobile home, according to reports.

This is where he messed up. Shouldve ramped over a construction sign and been home free, hanging out at the Boar's nest before Roscoe climbed out of the mud.
