Escambia Deputies Exchange Fire With Wanted Suspect
November 24, 2017
Shots were fired overnight as Escambia County deputies attempted to serve an arrest warrant.
The incident started about 3:45 a.m. in the area of Louise Avenue and East Nine Mile Road when the suspect began shooting at deputies. Deputies returned fire, hitting the suspect as he fled.
The still-armed white male was found a short time later hiding behind a dumpster behind the Taco Bell at Nine Mile and Chemstrand Roads. Deputies demanded he drop his weapon several times. Reports indicate the man dropped the weapon and was taken into custody.
The suspect, who has not yet been identified, suffered a non-life threatening injury during the gunfire. No deputies were injured.
The suspect was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The incident is now under investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which is standard procedure in every officer-involved shooting.

My hat is off to ESCO deputies for a non fatal take down on either side.
Amazing! This guy, a convicted felon was booked @ 8:10 and released the same day @ 5:40. Smells fishy!
Thankyou for shooting at him next time try to aim better. Anyone who shoots at the cops don’t deserve to walk away.
Thank God the Deputies were not hit and their kids still have their Mom or Dad to come home to them.
