Suspect Arrested In Dairy Queen Officer Involved Shooting
January 12, 2013
The driver of a vehicle involved in a deputy involved shooting Wednesday at a Scenic Highway Dairy Queen has been arrested.
Derrick Emerson McMillian, 33, was charged with four counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, one count of possession of cocaine and one count of obstruction of justice.
Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies were working on a narcotics investigation in the Scenic Highway area about 2 p.m. As they tried to apprehend McMillian, two deputies were forced to discharge their weapons, according to a statement released by the Sheriff’s Office. No one was hit by the gunfire, but one deputy was treated for minor injuries received due to breaking glass.
The two deputies involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, as is standard procedure in officer involved shootings.

“I want to see how accurate you are as a car is trying to run you over. You weren’t there so you know NONE of the FACTS. Keep living in reality, you look that much smarter.”
I see you ARE one of those who gripes at the drop of a hat. My point was simply that it is foolish to expect super fancy shooting under real situations.

“And yet there are geniuses who think officers are such great shots that they can shoot the gun out of the hands of assailants. Not griping — since I never gripe — but they missed him altogether.

Not real smart on his part
Looks like he might have resisted arrest.
