Three Carjacking Suspects Arrested After Escambia SWAT Standoff

March 12, 2012

Three Gulf Breeze carjacking suspects were arrested Sunday in Escambia County after a SWAT standoff.

The armed carjacking took place at the Gulf Breeze Car Wash just after 7 p.m. Saturday. Three male suspects, one armed with a handgun, took the victim’s 2000 Dodge Ram along with his wallet, keys and cell phone.

Pensacola Police Officers located the stolen vehicle Sunday morning at the Travel Inn on West Cervantes Street.  Police said the suspects refused to come to the door of their hotel room. The immediate area was evacuated while police obtained a search warrant for the room.

After a few hours, as a SWAT team was preparing to make entry, the suspects voluntarily exited the room and were taken into custody without incident.

Three Pensacola men — Malcolm Mahummed Wright, 18,  Kardale Lamara Black, 22, and Marquise Demetris Jenkins, 18 — were all charged with armed carjacking in connection with the incident.
