Man That Ran Away From Highway 29 Wreck Sentenced To Jail Time
April 28, 2021
A man that ran from a wreck with injuries on Highway 29 last year has been sentenced.
Dylan Roger Jon Ankney, 29, was found guilty of failure to remain at a crash involving injury. He was sentenced to seven months in the Escambia County Jail with credit for 192 days previously served. He will be on probation for two years, and will be required to pay restitution to the victims along with fines and costs.
Two people were injured in the two vehicle crash on Highway 29 at Old Chemstrand Road on August 29, 2020.
Witness told authorities that Ankney never slowed down as he rear-ended a vehicle in front of the Burger King, He jumped out of his vehicle, tried unsuccessfully to remove the tag and fled behind the Winn Dixie. A witness “was able to assist him to the ground”, according to an arrest report, before the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrived.
Ankney was also ticketed by the Florida Highway Patrol for additional traffic offenses, including texting while driving, careless driving, no seat belt, and no proof of insurance.

Don’t look up you caused all your own problems by trying to run.
“Assist to the ground” seems to imply he was ready to surrender and,and,and, a good Samaritan was passing by and said good sir are you needing help, yes, I need to surrender and need someone to help me lay on the ground and hold me there till the cops arrive! Lol!
I agree that his sentence is lenient, however, he has to pay restitution to the victims, so at least he can work to earn the money to do that. He couldn’t sitting in jail.
Hit and run is an epidemic in this county. I’ve had it happen to me twice.
With CREDIT for previously served time?
Sorry I just don’t get that.
Seven month huh? WOW!! He’ll be back in jail after he gets out soon, but this time, he may kill someone. With his record, why do they continue to allow them out, only to do their crimes over and over. Do what California does. Three strikes and you are OUT!! Meaning, life in prison.
7 months in jail, with credit for 192 days…. so 2-3 weeks in jail.
Good job Citizen that “helped” this fella find the ground!!! I don’t understand why some feel the need to run from their problems instead of standing up and face the consequences. Just reading the charges from the accident, he would have been able to go home after this wreck and then deal with the upcoming of a trial and tickets. I’m assuming that this vehicle belonged to him (the fact he was trying to remove the tag) so and the witnesses wouldn’t have seen that red headed man running away but I guess he didn’t realize that vehicle could be traced back to owner by the VIN… another sad case of not caring about those that were injured… LOCK THAT FELLA UP FOR A LONG TIME.
Thank you witness for “assisting him to the ground “ .
It’s civilians like you that make our world better.
this will not be his last time in the news or in jail, hope he proves me wrong.
