Cantonment Woman Charged With Aiding Escape, Weapons Offenses

August 11, 2021

A Cantonment woman has been charged for allegedly helping a man escape from deputies in the Wedgewood area.

An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to Wagner Road due to multiple reports of reckless four-wheelers and dirt bikes in the area. The deputy observed a man push start a Honda four wheeler that matched the description of one that had fled from deputies multiple times in the past. The deputy attempted to stop the four wheeler on the a public right of way with emergency lights and sirens activated, but the man jumped off and started to flee, an arrest report states.

That’s when deputies say Lacashia Monique Moultrie handed off a dirt bike to him, allowing him to escape. Moultrie told deputies that the man meant “nothing to her.”

A search following the arrest revealed a 9 mm Ruger pistol with six rounds in the magazine inside Moultrie’s backpack, according to the ECSO.

Moultrie was charged with aiding escape, possession of a concealed weapon without a permit, and possession of a concealed firearm during the commission of a felony. She was released on a $25,000 bond.

An arrest report notes the incident was captured by the video system in the deputy’s vehicle.

    First of all…great job ESCO. She knew exactly what she was doing by handing the one in trouble an alternative way to escape. That’s no different than other crime…aiding and abetting! These “riders” act as if the rule the roads. I bet half of them don’t have a drivers license and I’ve known some to be running drugs…it’s sad that this is even a problem around here…GREAT JOB ESCO

    @ Rain I’m sure you do all that you say, but when cops pull you over do you stop or just leave at a high rate of speed? This particular four wheeler has done just that on numerous occasions except this time it wouldn’t start up, also keep in mind in the area this occurred many stolen four wheelers have been recovered, so when she handed off a running dirt bike to someone fleeing on foot from law enforcement to allow and aid in their escape she became part of the equation putting herself in the middle of things, had she not done that she would have never been arrested.

    Citizen, They are not just “riding” 4wheelers, and dirt bikes, that are illegal on the public streets. They do not have proper lighting, mufflers or insurance. They do not drive in a safe responsible manner. If they hit you or run you off the road, you can be assured they will run to avoid the consequences. So you think people only have a limited number of things they can “bitch about”, as you say. They are a menace in their own neighborhood.

    The gun was probably for snakes. I take mine when I go ride 4 wheelers. In reality this is a water off tax payers dollars. What harm were they causing? I don’t know the whole story but if this is it they should not be in jail.

    I ride my dirt bike and go karts on the roads in my neighborhood (Greentree) along with several others of my neighbors. There are ppl that ride thier golf carts, scooters, hoverboards, almost anything that you can rode is seen riding in our neighborhood. There isn’t any problems and by the amount of neighbors that wave as the rides ride by that do not mind. Now, the difference is that as the riders ride around here they are not riding fast, crisscrossing the roads, and have courtesy for the neighbors while the group that I have seen on the ATVs have been doing the total opposite. There is always someone that has to ruin things for others. I know that the law is we are not allowed to ride on our roads and I know what is right for one is rt for the other but I hope that the police know the difference on the families joy riding and those causing trouble and continue to yes turn thier heads and allows us to do what we have been doing for years.

    I understand there should be rules about riding in streets but the comments got me. People bitch because of the shootings and looting but when they are only riding 4 wheelers you bitch too. Nobody ever happy?? I rather them be riding the 4 wheelers then gang banging any day. Now a days you have to carry a piece to live in Wild Wild West Pensacola.

    A couple months ago, I and my dog were walking on the sidewalk down Community Drive. All of a sudden about eight ATVs and motorcycles appeared. They were very loud and were crisscrossing the road at a high rate of speed. They frightened my dog so bad that she refuses to walk on that part of Community Drive anymore.
