Suspect Back Behind Bars In Incident With Shot Fired At Deputy Near Northview

The  man  facing domestic violence charges after incident near Northview High School where a shot was allegedly fired at a deputy is back behind bars.

Marvin Anthony Haynie was booked into the Escambia County Jail Wednesday after being arrested on an outstanding warrant issued when his bond was revoked by a county judge for allegedly violating the terms of his pretrial release.

Haynie, 46, was arrested in October on the Poarch Creek Indian Reservation by Poarch Creek Tribal Police and extradited back to Florida to face a domestic violence battery charge. He was not charged in connection with the alleged shot fired at an Escambia County Sheriff’s Deputy during a manhunt near Northview High School.

Deputies had established a perimeter around York Road as they searched for a domestic violence suspect they identified as  Haynie. At least one shot was reportedly fired from a wooded area toward a deputy’s cruiser, with the round striking the dirt road directly in front of the car. The deputy was not injured and did not return fire.

After searching for Haynie for a couple of hours after the shot was fired, the manhunt was called off.

The incident began when the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic violence complaint in the 3000 block of York Road about 7:30 p.m. on October 26. Haynie’s wife told deputies that he was outside in their vehicle drinking a beer and playing the radio loudly. When she asked him to turn down the radio, she stated that he threw CD’s at her. After exiting the vehicle, he then threw an empty beer can at his wife, striking her in the upper arm, according to the ECSO report. She was not seriously injured.

When deputies arrived, the wife told them that Haynie had gone to a neighbor’s house; the neighbors told deputies that Haynie had fled into a nearby wooded area. Deputies searched the area and at least two homes for Haynie, but were unable to locate him.

At about 11 p.m., the female victim again called the Sheriff’s Office, reporting that Haynie was back at the residence, wet and covered in scratches from running through the woods. The wife alleged that Haynie took beer, Lortab and other medication, and departed in an unknown direction.

Deputies set up a perimeter and called for the assistance of an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit about 11:40 p.m.

About 12:05 a.m. Wednesday, the shot was reportedly fired at the deputy. Deputies maintained their perimeter and continued their search with the K-9.

By 1:45 a.m., deputies returned to the mobile home where the victim reportedly lived and escorted her out of the area to spend the rest of the night elsewhere. By 2 a.m., the manhunt was called off.

York Road is a short, dead-end dirt road east off Pine Barren Road directly opposite Northview High School.
