A driver was arrested for a fatal hit and run pedestrian crash Saturday night on Highway 29 in Ensley.
The pedestrian was struck by a vehicle about 10:30 p.m. in the 5800 block of Pensacola Boulevard, near the Motel 6. The pedestrian, identified as 52-year old Tina Baker Cain of Linden, AL, walked into the path of a 1994 Chevrolet C1500 driven by 45-year old Charles Otto Bodie of Pensacola.
Cain was thrown about 100 feet from the collision and was pronounced deceased on the scene.
Bodie fled the scene, according to the FHP, with a witness following him to his address. Bodie was charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving death by the Florida Highway Patrol. His bond was set at $100,000.

My grandmother did not deserve this, she was a kind, warm-hearted, respectful, and nice woman. Mr. Bodie got ten years, but he should’ve gotten life sentence, this is a sign for everyone to pay attention to the road, and never drink and drive, or you could be the future Mr. Bodie, also I hope Mr. Bodie is having an absolute nightmare in jail, and hopefully he isn’t eating good food, he shouldn’t have been a coward, but hopefully, he’ll take Ubers when his time is up so this doesn’t happen again to anyone else.
On April 2015, Fairfield and w street an elderly man drive through the red light, right in front of me, I have green light, right before my sight I have just second either to coiled into his car are turn really fast , I chose to turn or swerved and accelerate the vehicle to pass him but I still hit a concrete light poll and you know what he still drove off but thank God a witness saw what happen and followe him to his home. It is a very sad that this person did not stop and help me. My condolences to you and your family this person will be caught justice shall prevail. Mr.Nguyen
My condolences to the family who lost their love one. Sending healing prayers and hugs.
There was a family walking across the street she was the last one walking, she didn’t intentionally step out in front of the car, he shouldn’t have the scene and been such a coward.
All to often around here these hit and run killers get away with it. The most important thing to do if you witness a hit and run is follow and get the other car info. You can come back to the wreck….the person who followed is the real hero in this!
People with heart are not cowards and leave a fatally injured woman on a highway. He should spend the rest of life in prison
This is my mother in law… She was a kind wonderful woman. This man has no regard for a life. To just leave without a word goes to show what kind of person he is. He has ruined my family forever.
My gut tells me Mr. Bodie was impaired and didn’t want to get caught.
Yep, Charles has a huge heart all right, so caring a heart he left his victim lying in the road, not knowing if she was dead or alive. Huge heart…….right!
So Sad to see, I have known Charlie several years, he has a huge heart and i know he would never intentionally hurt anyone .My condolenzes to the family of the lady qho lost her life , and to all effected by this tragic event.
Being a victim of a hit and run driver that is still out there hiding their ugly secret I abhor all of the cowards with no moral conscience – spend the rest of your days in a prison cell.
I’m so glad he was caught. That just wrong of him.. Love goes out to her family.. Just glad someone seen him and actually followed him.. Amen
My heart goes out to their family. It really is a shame a person cannot own up to their wrong doing.
It was sad.. I pass by on my home thinking its a traffic accident and there was someone laying under a sheet.. I for chills.. Knowing I work in the nursing field.
Condolences to the family.
Why did this woman step out in front of a vehicle at 10:30 at night (it’s dark in that area). Did she not see the headlights?
He shouldn’t have left.
