Molino Man Stalked Woman Before Ramming Into Vehicle Three Times, ECSO Says
June 24, 2020
A Molino man is charged with allegedly stalking a woman before ramming his vehicle into another vehicle three times, causing it to overturn onto a van.
Andrew Thomas Plenkers, 27, is charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated stalking and three counts of criminal mischief.
A female victim told deputies that she was leaving work with a male co-worker when Plenkers called her some 20-30 times. She eventually answered and told him to leave her alone, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
The male co-worker told the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that Plenkers rear-ended his vehicle on Langley Avenue before making a U-turn and side-swiping his vehicle. The victim said he attempted to flee, but Plenkers kept chasing him and the female victim, finally striking their vehicle a third time and causing it to flip over, according to an arrest report.
The victim’s Mazda Tribute had extensive damage and came to rest on top of a 2003 Ford van belonging to the My Little Explorers Learning Academy located near Langley Avenue. An ECUA water line was also busted. The total amount of the damage was estimated at $12,200.
The deputy found 30 missed calls from Plenker in the victim’s phone call log.
Plenkers remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $32,500.

You mad bro?
Andrew, it is terrible when a romantic relationship doesn’t work out, it is heartbreaking. But why the long face?
I see damages estimated at a little over 12 Thousand Dollars. So often restitution is never paid to the victims, or their insurers. Wouldn’t it be great, if in addition to bail money, a restitution escrow fee was required to get out of jail? If found innocent, they get the money back. If guilty, it goes to the victims, so at least they get something, which often is nothing. It could be based on a percentage of damage caused. If that person is on the Public Dole (Welfare), take a monthly fee out of what they receive, until full restitution is repaid to the victim, or their insurance company. Probably would make too much sense, & some would cry as being unfair.
I feel horrible for his parents. They are both truly wonderful people and his Dad was a huge mentor to the many, many rec. soccer kids that he coached. I hate it that Andy has done himself. He hung out with a great group of athletes in high school who are all largely doing very well. It is just sad…..
And they called it….. “Puppy Love”
Wonder why she’s avoiding him
Dang Andy what are you thinking? How did you get from being a pretty fun dude in high school to this? I guess some of us grow up and some of us go the wrong direction. I’ll pray for you in the hopes you turn yourself around old friend.
$32,500 for attempting to kill someone with a vehicle? If not kill , this guy was definitely out to do serious bodily harm to the female and the person she was with, not to mention the fact he was endangering all the people on the street while he was throwing his little fit. He needs to stay behind bars if for no other reason than to protect the public form his careless acts and his self obsessed behavior.
Cheap bond for attempted murder on two people! Wander if it was his x or what caused the anger?
$32,500 bail? Ridiculous
wow. a psyche eval is in order, no doubt. all those charges will probably end up being over 11 months 15 days in jail, which means state prison time and a crewcut. i hate it for you Mr. Plenkers, but to have a freakout over a woman is quite silly and gains you nothing.
i’m surprised this is not an attempted murder charge.
wouldn’t it have been easier to move on and get another?
