Man Charged With Hitting Vehicles, Trying To Run Over Deputy

July 31, 2017

An Escambia County celebrated his 18th birthday by hitting vehicles and trying to run over a deputy, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

It all started when the deputy initiated a traffic stop on Nicholas Rashod Pryear on Pensacola Beach.

Pryear began to flee from deputies, ramming into several vehicles on Pensacola Beach. A pursuit began after Pryear left the beach and crossed the 3-Mile Bridge where Pensacola police officers were waiting. The vehicle chase ended near the train tracks on 9th Avenue, but Pryear wasn’t done running.

He left the vehicle and took off on foot.

Still inside the car were two passengers that were both charged with resisting without violence after ignoring officer’s command to exit the vehicle. Pryear was later arrested at his home on West Avery Street.

He was charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding after a crash, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, aggravated battery, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.

Pryear remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $47,000.

    Its obvious by his own actions that he did not think twice about hurting someone or doing damage to someone elses’ property….wonder if ma and pa taught him bout respect and accountability.?

    This is the 2nd story reported on that these idiots were intentionally trying to cause bodily harm to LEO’s with vehicles in less than a week. This one as well as the other need to spend their young lives in prison for a while.
