Escambia Man Gets 30 Years For Robbing Cab Driver
March 11, 2013
Phillip Earl Crenshaw, Jr., was sentenced last weekby Judge John Parnham to 30 years in state prison with a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years. Crenshaw was convicted by an Escambia County jury on October 17 of robbery with a firearm and battery.
On January 12, 2012, Crenshaw called a cab to pick him up. When the cab arrived, Crenshaw asked to sit in the front seat with driver. Crenshaw punched the female driver in the face multiple times. He then pulled a gun, stole her money and told her leave the area or he would shoot her. The victim fled the area and then called 911.
One month later, the victim identified Crenshaw from a photo lineup.

To rick. He will do the ten mandatory day for day and will only recieve the 85 percent on the remaining twenty
Thank you for reporting this criminal’s sentence. Hopefully this will deter someone else from robbing a cabbie.
Mick – All inmates in the Florida State Prison System serve 85% of their sentence regardless of minimum mandatory sentences. Parole was abolished in Florida in 1983, and the 85% minimum became law in 1995. If Phil was sentenced to 30 years, that’s 36 months. 85% of that is 30.6 months. So our friend will be locked up for about 25 1/2 years. You’re right about burden on society in or out. At least the cabbies are safe from him for a long time. Here’s where I got my facts: http://www.dc.state.fl.us/secretary/press/1999/pr032097.html, Florida Department of Corrections.
Mandatory 10 years is not enough, he should have to serve it all..hes a burden on society whether he’s in a cage or not…but his actions warrant the cage…good riddance..
