MILTON, Fla. -- Video of a former sheriff's deputy in Milton, Florida intentionally crashing his patrol car into his ex-wife's home has been released.

The state attorney's office released the dash cam video this week.

The incident happened in November 2016. 

Timothy Taylor puts the vehicle in reverse at the home's driveway, then steers the cruiser to face the home.

Taylor lets a car pass just before he accelerates and slams into the front of the house.

Taylor admitted to Milton police that he was under the influence of prescription drugs at the time. He said he tried to commit suicide because of marital problems.

Taylor pleaded no contest to DUI and criminal mischief charges.

He was sentenced to two years probation.
