Escambia Man Facing Life Sentence For Robbery
February 13, 2015
An Escambia County man is facing possible life sentence for robbing a cab driver. Lucas Jenkins was found guilty by an Escambia County jury of robbery with a firearm.
On April 17, 2014, Jenkins and his three co-defendants called for a cab. Once the cab arrived, they directed the cab driver to take them to an unoccupied trailer and then robbed the cab driver at gun point. The cab driver’s money, GPS, in car camera and cell phone were all stolen. The four suspects were later apprehended at an apartment building and at that time all of the stolen items were recovered. The gun was also found by the police at that location.
Sentencing on this conviction will be scheduled at a later date before Circuit Judge Linda Nobles. Jenkins faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The charges against Jerry Dwayne Moorer, Jr., one of the other co-defendant’s, are still pending.
At the time of his arrest for this case, Lucas Jenkins was on felony probation for robbery armed with a firearm, aggravated assault by threat and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. After his arrest for the cab driver robbery, Jenkins was found guilty of violating his probation and was sentenced on October 27, 2014 to 15 years in state prison for his violation of probation.

Perdido Fisherman,
It’s all good. I was just being goofy, and not very nice. I probably deserved a biblical smack-down for that.
David Hule, Thank you for pointing that out, I was a little confused by some of the post BT made, I wasn’t sure if he meant cetain parts of his comment or the entire post, so I put my two cents in for whatever it’s worth. I appreciate anyones retort or corrections, even if I am wrong or out of line especially, once again thank you.
BT I apologize if I misunderstood what you were saying or took it out of context, best wishes to you.
perdido fisherman.
Please read the last line of BT’s note.
He was mocking how so many others act in these cases.
David for clarity
BT, The Bible also says that you must follow the law of man and that man can judge you and punish you for breaking those laws. You can’t just pick and choose which parts of the bible to follow, you have to read the whole bible to know what god is telling you.
Free Lu-Lu! Stay strong Lil bro cause knowbody no what you did cause they wasn’t there they just lies from haters. They not anybody can judge you but god its biblical an all those people on here being negative just hurting the family.
