Florida Carjacking Suspect Police Chase Ends With Crash In Flomaton

January 6, 2021

Escambia County (FL) deputies pursued a car jacking suspect into Alabama Tuesday night before performing a PIT maneuver to end the pursuit.

The deputies were pursuing a Ford pickup truck that was reportedly taken during a carjacking in Okaloosa County.

The Florida Highway Patrol chased the vehicle through parts of Santa Rosa County before losing sight of the vehicle somewhere in the Cantonment area, according to Escambia County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Amber Southard. Deputies in Century spotted the vehicle in the area of Highway 29 and East Highway 4 and gave chase. The pursuit crossed state lines into Flomaton.

Escambia County (FL) deputies performed a PIT maneuver — a tactical maneuver that causes a driver to lose control and stop — at the intersection of Sidney Manning Boulevard (Highway 29) and Poplar Street in Flomaton. The pickup truck came to rest in front of the Advance Auto Parts store, and the driver was taken into custody.

The suspect, identified as 22-year old Trevor William Faubel of Crestview, was arrested by Flomaton Police and charged with bringing stolen property into the State of Alabama, theft of property first degree and driving with a suspended or revoked license, according to Flomaton Police Chief Charles Thompson.

Faubel was transported to the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton to await a bond hearing on the Alabama charges and extradition back to Florida where he is expected to face multiple charges in Okaloosa and Escambia counties.

    Now, let’s see what will happen to this punk when he comes before a Judge. If the punk receives a slap on the wrist, the Judge should have charges brought against him failing to use proper rulings.

    Glad you caught this idiot. He was driving reckless on 1-10 this afternoon. Passing cars/trucks using the shoulders of the road and emergency lanes for miles.
