Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club Recognized Deputy’s Actions

February 14, 2013

Escambia County Sheriff’s Master Deputy Joanna Wilson was recognized by the Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club Wednesday.

Through the Sertoma Awards Program, the Northeast Pensacola Chapter honors and celebrates the accomplishments of Pensacola area first responders, recognizing officers who go above and beyond the call of duty.

On Saturday August 4, 2012, Deputy Joanna Wilson responded to a forgery call at a bank where two women were attempting to pass a stolen check. The women left before she had arrived, but Deputy Wilson identified the suspects’ vehicle to be a rental car from Broward County, Florida. She began to patrol local motels, eventually locating the suspect’s vehicle. This action led to several arrests, two of them known gang members linked to an organization that has been responsible for committing bank fraud with a monetary loss of approximately six million dollars.
