Escambia Man Gets 20 Years For Drugs, Car Chase

August 10, 2013

An Escambia County man is headed to prison for two decades on drug and fleeing law enforcement charges.

Antonio Emmanuel Moorer  was sentenced by Circuit Judge Ross Goodman to 20 years in state prison for possession of controlled substance, failure to appear, aggravated fleeing/attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, and driving while license revoked as a habitual offender. Moorer pleaded guilty to the charges against him.

On July 16, 2012, Moorer was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.  He failed to appear for his court date on these charges and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

On February 14, 2013, deputies located Moorer in the Montclair neighborhood.  He subsequently led deputies on a high speed chase, ultimately losing control of his vehicle and crashing into another vehicle. At that time, Moorer got out of his vehicle and ran.  After a brief foot chase, deputies apprehended him.

    This is the same thug who shot Deputy Robinson at Truman arms last summer. Good riddance to another thug.

    Habitual offender means he does not care at all about doing the right thing, preying on innocents and being a burden on society is the life he chooses…so be it… you need to serve every single minute of the twenty…
