Man Faces More Charges For Shooting At 4th Deputy During Home Invasion
December 3, 2010
Additional charges were filed Thursday against the man accused of shooting Deputy Jeremy Cassady along with a woman and two other Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies.
Phillip Monier, 47, is charged with shooting Cassady and deputies Sam Parker and Chad Brown during a home invasion hostage incident October 29 at his girlfriend’s home near Scenic Highway in Pensacola.
He was originally charged with three counts of attempted murder, aggravated assault and kidnapping. Thursday, State Attorney Bill Eddins added an attempted felony murder charge for shots that were fired an a fourth deputy who was not injured. Monier was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of methamphetamine.
Cassady was severely wounded in the incident and spent 20 days in Sacred Heart Hospital.
Deputies said Monier’s girlfriend, Jackie Rosenbloom, called 911 as Monier forced his way into her home looking a ring that he demanded be returned. He took Rosenbloom hostage and ignored orders to drop his weapon as deputies entered the home. Monier used Rosenbloom as a human shield, but he was struck by at least one round in the hand. He was eventually talked out of the home by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and hostage negotiators.
Monier’s trial will be held in Escambia County before Okaloosa County Judge John Brown; all of Escambia County’s judges were disqualified from the case due to their previous involvement with Cassady. He had worked court security for nine months before returning to patrol just four days before he was shot.
