Escambia Man Convicted Of Vehicular Homicide
November 4, 2017
A man who drove his truck into a home on East Mallory Street and killed a woman who was sitting in the living room has been found guilty of vehicular homicide.
It took the jury about three hours to return the verdict against 31-year old John Dye.
The incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. May 3, 2015. Donna Sue Alexander, 52, of Pensacola was sitting in her living room in the 1600 block of East Mallory Street when a Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck driven by Dye crashed into the house. d Alexander died at the scene.
Lawrence said Dye was northbound on 17th Avenue when the truck left the road, struck the house and entered the living room. The investigation determined Dye was intoxicated from “huffing” Endust electronics cleaner. A chemical in the duster may cause loss of consciousness, loss of control, grogginess, and an overall dazed appearance, according to police.

Guilty verdict is excellent. Now for sentencing….death penalty would be great but that won’t be. Life without parole would be appropriate. Watch and see….minimum prison. That wouldn’t be justice, would it?
