Alleged Gangster Arrested For Escambia Carjacking
January 12, 2011
A 21-year old Escambia County gang member was arrested Monday, accused of carjacking a 19-year-old man and wounding his 19-year-old passenger in a robbery on December 17 of last year.
Members of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office gang unit, investigations division and the U.S. Marshals Task Force arrested George Andrew Fountain of Pensacola, on an arrest warrant for aggravated battery, grand theft, armed robbery and carjacking.
At around 2:02 am December 17, deputies responded to a reported carjacking at the intersection of Avondale and Durham Roads.
Christopher Robert Lullo and Malcolm Dacota Wheeler, both of Pensacola told deputies that they were in the area to buy marijuana. According to an offense report, Lullo stated that another friend made a phone call, possibly to the suspect in this case, and made arrangements to purchase the marijuana.
As Lullo and Wheeler attempted to make this purchase near the intersection of Avondale and Durham Roads, Fountain allegedly entered into their vehicle and displayed a handgun. Fountain then demanded money, taking $350 in cash from Wheeler.
According to the report, Wheeler was at first reluctant to cooperate with the suspect. As a result, the suspect struck Wheeler in the face with the handgun, causing an injury to Wheeler’s nose.
Deputies with the Sheriff’s gang unit say Fountain is a member of the Insane Gangster Disciples. The gang is made up of predominantly white males. Although a national gang, most of the members are from the Midwest and Southern states.
Fountain was booked into the Escambia County Jail and held on a $325,500 bond.

The price of buying drugs includes association with criminals. The “victims” in this case need a sharp talking to and should consider themselves lucky that “Captain Wannabe” (as depicted) didn’t fire that gun instead of just breaking the boy’s nose.
A gun was used in the commission of a crime.
Lock this “gangsta up” and don’t ever let him out.
All over a little weed.
no pity EVER
Appropriate…Insane
What a punk jerk..now that he is incarcerated, I am sure the hardened criminal inmates will let him know just how “big and bad” he really is.
Oh good grief! What an idiot! I’m sorry but my opinion of “gangsters” is that they are all wannabes. They wanna be big and bad. They wanna be respected. They wanna be feared. They wanna run the streets and the neighborhoods. My opinion is also that the only thing they actually ARE is a bunch of idiots who can’t measure up in society so they do all this because they think if they can’t be normal people, they’ll control the normal people. Well, good luck to ‘em cause this chick ain’t skeered.
