Two people were arrested after police said shots were fired at a vehicle at the Tampa Police Department's District 2 office.
According to police, Milton Coley, 24, and Louis Ruiz-Machado, 19, arranged to meet at 109th Avenue and Lantana Avenue to conduct a drug deal around just before 1 p.m.
Coley walked up to Ruiz-Machado who was driving a 2003 Dodge Ram pick-up truck, but police said, when Ruiz-Machado handed over the marijuana, Coley refused to pay him.
According to reports, Ruiz-Machado fired a shot and Coley fled on foot, calling a friend to pick him up.
As Coley got into his friend's Nissan Altima in the 2200 block of Bougainvillea Avenue, Ruiz-Machado began chasing them in his pick-up truck, police said.
The friend feared for his safety and drove to the Tampa Police Department's District 2 Office for help. The pick-up truck chased them twice through the parking lot at a high rate of speed.
Then, according to police, Ruiz-Machado fired at least one shot and fled as officers exited the district office with guns drawn.
A short time later, officers caught Ruiz-Machado on the University of South Florida campus at Bull Run Drive and Elm Drive.
Police recovered a 9 mm inside the vehicle.
At District 2, witnesses said they saw Coley throw two large baggies of marijuana into the parking lot.
Ruiz-Machado was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and felony possession of marijuana.
Coley charged with possession of marijuana.
His friend who was driving did not face charges.
Officers recovered one 9 mm shell casing in the parking lot.
