Escambia Deputy Shoots At Vehicle
September 22, 2011
An Escambia County deputy fired at least one shot at a suspect’s car after he allegedly tried to ram his vehicle.
When Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies located a suspect and vehicle allegedly involved in a home invasion, the suspect — 23-year old Brendan Morgan Carter — attempted to elude deputies in a Sanders Street neighborhood. Carter drove to a dead end street, and when deputies caught up with him, they said Carter drove the vehicle in reverse toward the deputies.
The vehicle rammed one occupied Sheriff’s Office vehicle.
“One deputy, in fear for their safety, fired their weapon at Carter’s vehicle. Carter was then taken into custody without further incident,” said Sgt. Mike Ward, public information officer for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. “No one was hit by the gunfire and no injuries were reported.”
Carter was charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, habitually driving while license suspended and a probation violation. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.

I agree with Mr Green,can’t believe they let him live,did they give criminal a break or what
I saw a tv show last night that said there are/were over 2 million people in prisons. And, everyone yells “not in my backyard” when there is talk about building more prisons. Add in early release because there is not enough room to put in any more. I guess that is why this guy is still out on the streets.
MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE FELONIES !!!!
MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE Traffis Violations.
Put him in prison and throw away the key !!!!!
attacking armed officers?
Probably not a good candidate for Mensa
throw in destruction of public property and attempted murder of an officer of the law with a vehicle charges (surely there’s such a law on the books)
Impressive restraint on part of officers that he still lives
With 31 serious and significant entries in the clerk of court records, this guy is the reason repeat offender laws were put on the books. He’s a hazard and a threat to the community. We’ll hear about him again (and again, and again…)
I think Dan is on the right track!
Good work officer. I wonder about the top three criteria , these Invaders, use for selecting a target home. I think they should be surveyed, before final disposition.
2nd that Don
guess they will give him more probation
Next time don’t miss!
