Man Facing Charges After Running From Highway 29 Wreck With Injuries
August 30, 2020
A man that ran from a wreck on Highway 29 Saturday is facing criminal charges.
At least two people were injured in the two vehicle crash on Highway 29 at Old Chemstrand Road. They were transported by Escambia County EMS to the hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Witness told authorities that the driver of a SUV rear-ended a vehicle in front of the Burger King before he jumped out and ran away. He was tracked down a short time later by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol.
The man, identified as 28-year old Dylan Roger Jon Ankney, was booked into the Escambia County Jail charged with felony hit and run and driving with a suspended license. He remained jailed Sunday with bond set at $2,500.
The Florida Highway Patrol has not released details about their crash investigation.

I just happened to come upon the capture of this individual and I can precisely tell you that law enforcement did not track down this individual. He was actually apprehended with due force by 2 young men about 300 yards from the accident site at the intersection of the old highway (95A) and old chemstrand. I don’t know who they were but the cops did show up, handcuff the individual and thank the gentlemen for assistance. And yes he was crying like a baby!
@ family He is trash, felony hit and run and driving with a suspended is not a poor decision it’s a coordinated act he has planned to do. Lately, we’ve had a ton of hit and run incidents here in Escambia County. It’s because of trash like this.
It would appear he is crying, because he may actually be held accountable for his actions. If he was so concerned about his family, why is he out doing bad, instead of going and taking care of them. If your feelings are hurt by these comments, then quit reading.
To those worried that comments made in response to these reports might hurt someone’s feelings, maybe you could share your wisdom with the jughead causing the situation. If he had any concern for the feelings of his own family, people wouldn’t have anything to comment on.
If you cover yourself in crap people will say you stink. Fact of life!
If he has children who are at a very impressionable age and he’s still out doing things that make him run away from the scene of an accident and the cops, he is right on the borderline of trash… and I ain’t gonna say which side. If he has any shred of decency, he’ll get a haircut, straighten his life out and be a good example to his kids.
JTV he is not trash..he has family..poor decisions not trash..comes from a great family…Stephen..because he has some issues and he also has a 6 and 8 year old child that is ehy he is crying. Please know families read this while you comment.
Everyone gets out of jail after committing felony offenses. Really!
Not his first run in with the law…stop giving him so many chances.
This is my son and his girlfriend. This is so tramautic. He ran, how dare you?
He is very well known to Law Enforcement. Sad…
Cowardly act to run, be grown up and try to help the injured, make sure they aren’t in danger of more harm and wait for the law enforcement, EMT, fire dept to get there.
Hope the injured will be okay “Non-Life Threatening” doesn’t mean they’re not badly shaken up or otherwise injured.
Guy must have been really moving to intrude that far into the SUV.
Prayers for ALL including the guy who caused all this injury and destruction of vehicles. Needs some time in confinement to think over his nect steps in life.
Prayers for ALL.
$2500 bond?
Felony hit and run and driving with a suspended license.
Cops risk their lives to catch thIs trash, judges refuse to protect the people.
…too many outlaws here…
What in the hell is he crying about?
