Appeals Court Confirms Sentence Of Man That Shot Deputies, Took Hostage

July 17, 2013

The First District Court of Appeals has affirmed the conviction and sentence of Philip Martin Monier for his role in taking a woman hostage and a  subsequent gun battle with law enforcement.

In January, Monier was convicted by an Escambia County Jury of four counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault, armed kidnapping and trespassing. Monier was sentenced by Judge John T. Brown to serve four life sentences in state prison.

Monier was convicted of shooting Deputy Jeremy Cassady and deputies Sam Parker and Chad Brown during a home invasion hostage incident October 29, 2011,  at his girlfriend’s home near Scenic Highway in Pensacola. Monier was also charged in connection with shooting at a fourth deputy who was not wounded.

Cassady was severely wounded in the incident and spent 20 days in Sacred Heart Hospital. He later received a pancreas and kidney transplant in August 2011.

Monier’s girlfriend, Jackie Rosenbloom, called 911 as Monier forced his way into her home looking a ring that he demanded be returned. He took Rosenbloom hostage and ignored orders to drop his weapon as deputies entered the home. Monier used Rosenbloom as a human shield, but he was struck by at least one round in the hand. He was eventually talked out of the home by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and hostage negotiators.
