Man Charged With Hitting Deputy’s Cruiser With Stolen Motorcycle
February 6, 2014
A Cantonment man has been charged with allegedly hitting a deputy’s cruiser with a stolen motorcycle.
Charles Black, who provided an address on McKenzie Road at the time of his arrest, was charged with fleeing/eluding law enforcement, grand theft, grand theft of a motor vehicle and criminal mischief. He remained in the Escambia County Jail early Thursday morning with bond set at $55,000.
Back on December 2, a deputy parked at Blue Angel Parkway and Mobile Highway observed a motorcycle with no lights being driven erratically by Black. The deputy followed, attempting a traffic stop at about Mobile Highway and Massachusetts Avenue. After the motorcycle stopped, the deputy reported Black appeared to be reaching for something. Then the motorcycle accelerated and ran into the deputy’s patrol vehicle.
A short time later, Black lost control while turning onto Fairfield Drive and crashed into a utility pole. According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the 2008 Kawaski motorcycle had been reported stolen on November 30, 2013. The motorcycle was extensively damaged in the crash.
Black was also implicated in the theft of a Ford Ranger on November 10, 2013.
Black also received traffic citations for running a red light and careless driving.

Talk about your all-time worst moment for a “whiskey throttle”
Mr. Black and Mr. Willie Wade Steverson, who also ran into a LEO car, can perhaps get education in how to be better drivers while they spend time away from home. As a neighbor used to say her son was “away at school” during his time as a guest of the state.
Thankfully, none of the LEO hurt by these two and good job to pull them from the streets.
Gee , I wonder what his driving “skills” would be like in a car … forget about motorcycles
hope you have a nice day Mr. Black and that you enjoy many more days to come as an inmate. this type of thing happens to often and more people need to be locked up for breaking the law, not just a smack on the hand.
