Two Arrested After Gang-Related Drive-by Shooting
December 2, 2010
A drive-by shooting in Escambia County led to the arrest of two gang members by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Gang Unit.
Tuesday afternoon, deputies responded to a reported shooting in the area of Olive Road and Tippin Avenue. According to witnesses a blue Lincoln was seen driving through the area while the passenger fired several shots out the window. No one was injured as a result of the incident.
Deputies assigned to the Gang Unit were in the area and responded to assist patrol deputies looking for the suspect vehicle. As they drove through the intersection of Fairfield Drive and Davis Highway, they observed the suspect vehicle parked at a convenience store near that intersection.
During the investigation the deputies identified the vehicles occupants as Jason Joseph Dill, 30, of Pensacola, and Joshua Edwin Diggins, 25. Diggins is originally from New Orleans but currently has a Pensacola address.
Both Dill and Diggins were identified as members of the Gangster Disciples. The Gangster Disciples is a nationwide gang that was originally formed on the South-side of Chicago in the late 1960’s. They are known for criminal activity such as drug trafficking, robbery, extortion and murder.
Deputies arrested Dill and Diggins charging them with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Diggins was also charged with resisting arrest without violence. They were booked into the Escambia County Jail and held with no bond.
Deputies seized the vehicle and a 9mm handgun.

these GDs are nothing to mess with this isnt your town boys hanging out…the GDs are a huge gang that makes more money than you could ever imagine. Talk to your children let them know these type of people are on our streets and have them conscience about what these gangs are really about. I work with these gang members everyday behind the wire so I know what I am talking about, Please stay in your childrens lives and ask questions because if they chose this life they will end up behind bars for life or 6 feet in the ground!!
Gangs and Drug the scurge of our nation…..

Very Very Discouraging….
Where are your children right now mom and dad and who is supervising them?
Do you even know??????
scary to think that we don’t live that far from punks like this. Thats why I belong to the NRA!!!!
DUMB & DUMBER
Perfect example of the purging of Christian values and infusion of the Progressive values
Anyone know WHAT the guy was shooting at? Sadly, going to prison won’t help either one grow up, unless they’re really lucky and find a mentor.
You can’t fix stupid and these two need to be thrown under the jail!
Thiskind of behavior is expected from young punks! Grown men? Maybe if we are lucky enough for them to do serious jail time they might grow up!
Thanks “Katrina” for sending us some of your finest.
Once again, have to be “TUFF” and be part of a gang!!!!!!!!! Get real and GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE WORLD HAS GONE CRAZY!! Medicate it..PLZ!
