Man Arrested After Sunday Night Drive-by Shooting
July 1, 2013
Multiple charges have been filed on a Pensacola man after a drive-by shooting occurred Sunday night.
Robert D. Bruster, 18, of 2606 W. Gonzalez St. was charged with fleeing/eluding a law enforcement officer with lights/siren active, driving with license suspended, child neglect
without great bodily harm, resisting an officer, possession of cocaine, and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana.
Just after 10 p.m. Sunday, a drive-by shooting occurred in the area of DeSoto Street and Sixth Avenue where a 30-year-old male was shot in the hand. A description of the vehicle was broadcast to officers, and Officer David Rogers saw a vehicle matching its description at Pace Boulevard and Jackson Street. Rogers followed the vehicle to B and Gadsden streets where the driver – later identified as Bruster – jumped out and began running. Bruster was taken into custody nearby.
Officers found two children ages 13 and 14 in addition to some crack cocaine and marijuana inside the vehicle.
The shooting remains under investigation.

Of course Mick, I agree to not waste a dime on him. But figure even 20 years at what is the average per inmate now, 40k or so, and that’s putting a great deal of money into someone that will never change. Better to drop him and his thugs buddies out in the middle of the ocean and be done with it. Violent thugs shouldn’t be sitting around for years sucking the state’s teet. Let’s spend the money on victims funds rather than on these vile slime that are nothing but a carbuncle on the butt of society.
Dont waste a dime of taxpayer money put him away for at least 50 years…he doesn’t care about kids, law or anything except for his own selfish wants…a sorry excuse for a human…
Escambia would’ve canceled the traffic stop and let the criminal free. No pursuits and murders every week. State law allows for pursuits for felony offenses. The ECSO is scared of the liability. So rather than train and train some more, knee jerk reaction and eliminate all pursuits, even at the risk of the public. Very scary, thank you for the Detroit way of crime.
Congrats pensacola police department on the arrest. Your pursuit policy is in line with the rest of this country.
Great job of setting a fine example for the kids. Now they’ll hate the po-po even more because they got to see you get hauled off………. the downward spiral continues…….
