Escambia Man Convicted Of Trying To Kill Deputy
November 5, 2013
An Escambia County man has been convicted on charges that he tried to kill an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy.
Ryan Lewis Toler, was convicted of attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement office and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
The incident took place on May 20, 2013, inside the Oakwood Terrace Apartment complex at approximately 9:00 a.m. Escambia County Deputy Michael Runge was in the process of contacting Toler on the property when the defendant fled on foot. Deputy Runge gave chase and during the chase Toler withdrew a pistol and pointed it at Runge and pulled the
trigger. The firearm did not discharge due to a faulty magazine.
Toler was apprehended shortly thereafter and the firearm was recovered on Market Street.
Toler faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced by Judge Gary Bergosh on November 18. Toler also has a pending charge of possession of firearm by a convicted felon that may be addressed at his sentencing.

Truman Arms got such a bad reputation that they changed the name to Oakwood Terrace Apartment Complex to avoid the stigma.
Now Oakwood Terrace Apartment Complex has such a bad reputation that they need to change the name to…..
Who cares? Changing the name doesn’t change the situation. even though it IS funny to see folks use euphemisms whenever something gets a bad reputation.
Sometimes they even start with the euphemism: The Affordable….
I love America

Wow! He needs life in prison. May he never get the opportunity of freedom again for trying to kill those who serve and protect us.
I Don’t care, build more or visions, jails, holding cells, or graveyards to hold these criminals! Put them all away! America has come to far to have criminals like this not be locked away for good!
Unfortunately, Judge Bergosh doesn’t have the best sentencing track record for violent criminals. Expect a sentence much less than life…
get him gone gone gone!!!
