Escambia Woman Gets 30 Years Prison After High Speed Chase
December 15, 2016
An Escambia County woman has been sentenced to 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. She was sentenced this week by Judge Judge Gary Bergosh to minimum mandatory sentence of 30 years in state prison as a prison releasee reoffender. This means that she will serve the 30 year sentence day for day with no gain time.
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.

Yes seems like some just don’t want or understand they have a 2nd chance at making the right choices. Just glad she didn’t cause any harm to elderly gentleman or the officers involved.
20+ years of criminal activity finally caught up with her during this sentencing. So many “career criminals” need this same type of long-term confinement.
