Escambia Woman Faces 30 Years After High Speed Chase
October 18, 2016
An Escambia County woman faces a minimum of 30 years in state prison after a high speed chase during which she crashed into a deputy.
Charmaine Brown was convicted of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer with lights and siren activated at high speed, grand theft auto, grand theft of a firearm, criminal mischief and resisting an officer without violence.
On July 30, 2015, Brown was at the home of an elderly gentleman. She was caught by the victim rummaging through his personal belongings. The victim confronted Brown with a firearm, a struggle ensued and the gun was discharged. The victim was unharmed and Brown fled with the gun and in the victim’s car with another individual. Law enforcement arriving on the scene, saw the car leave at high speed. Officers pursued, believing that the elderly gentleman may have been kidnapped.
During the pursuit, Brown nearly struck an occupied law enforcement officer’s vehicle that was blocking traffic. The chase began in the area of the Barrancas Bridge and terminated in Perdido after the defendant crashed into another law enforcement officer’s occupied vehicle. During the course of the chase, Brown drove erratically and at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Charmaine Brown was taken into custody without incident.
Judge Gary Bergosh scheduled Brown’s sentencing for November 8p.m. Brown qualifies a prison releasee reoffender and faces a mandatory minimum of 30 years in state prison.

REGARDING:
“Sorry area resident but it is the responsibility of parents to raise a child”
Area acknowledged that was the responsibility but basically called for a backup plan for those whose parents don’t raise the children. We should all agree some parents aren’t much in the way of parents. Some have values so twisted and ways so unacceptable that they can’t possibly produce good children based on their own values and ways.
The problem here, though, it that they are usually a stronger influence than the best teachers because the children have known them earlier, longer, later. Jerks raise jerks. Thieves raise thieves. Drunks “raise” drunks. Evil begets evil.
We have to deal with the problems without assuming there is a definite solution, only that there are helps which work for some.
David for better
Sorry area resident but it is the responsibility of parents to raise a child – or in our modern world – the single female’s responsibility. If you don’t want to take on this responsibility, then don’t have children – simple as that. Right now there is a meeting in Mobile explaining how “SOCIETY” can justify the 33 murders they had so far this year and find a remedy for the future. I wish them good luck! Like it or not, nothing will change until we go back to the basic morals and values you have to possess in life to be successful . .
I recognize this one from when I clerked at a convenience store.
All I’ll say is “Show me someone who has stood in front of a judge once, and I’ll show you someone who has made a mistake. Show me someone who has been to jail, and I’ll show you someone who has a history of poor decision making, regardless of whether or not they are guilty of the crime they are accused of committing.”
This is true very much so in this case.
Dear Area,
Please don’t blame all of society’s woes on “high-minded” teachers. Please do a self-assessment of what you could do to help the problems in the world today be solved.
Just sayin’….
Surely we can do better as a society. If parents aren’t going to put their parenting pants on, then our high-minded teachers union needs to at least teach our children the basics so that they can go out and get a job. There are jobs out there, you just need the desire to make something of yourself. Receiving a government check and stealing from others is not the way!
