Man Dies Week After Couple’s Vehicle Hit By Suspect Fleeing From Atmore Police
December 31, 2021
One of the two people injured when their vehicle was hit by a man fleeing from police in Atmore has passed away.
Family members said 62-year old Andy Moye of Flomaton died Thursday at a Pensacola Hospital. His wife, 48-year old Donna Theresa Moye, is continuing to recover.
On December 23, Atmore Police attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle occupied by a man allegedly involved in a theft at Walmart. Officers pursued the white Chevrolet Avalanche south on Main Street but terminated the pursuit at Howard Street.
The suspect, later identified as 33-year old Joseph A. Weese — continued south on Main Street for about half a mile to Church Street where he collided with a Ford Ranger by the Moyes. Both were airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
Weese fled on foot but was captured a short distance away.
Weese was initially charged with felony first degree assault, but additional charges are expected to be forthcoming. He remained in the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton Friday morning without bond.

Donna and family we are praying for you. Andy was a beautiful person who brightened our day with his smile and familiar greeting. It won’t be quite the same not seeing him around town.
@Brenda, sorry about the loss of your brother. I did not know him, or you, but you and your family are in my prayers. God bless you.
Andy was my uncle and his death has truly impacted our family beyond belief! Uncle Andy was a true man of God and put a smile on everyone’s face he came across! You took a mans life way too early and for that we as his family will push that you never see daylight again! You aren’t deserving of anything, you are the biggest coward to walk this earth! His blood is on your hands and I hope it haunts you in your days and your dreams too!
Our heart is so sad for the loss of our customer and friend Mr. Andy. This is such a senseless loss of life. Regardless of what sentence this man receives, it will not bring back Mr. Andy. We are thankful that Mrs Donna is recovering however, we know she’s lost her husband, and her best friend. May God comfort You, Mrs Donna and all the family. You are in our thoughts & prayers. We are here if you need us. We love you.
Andy will certainly be missed by many.When we seen him in town he always had that big smile and was surely gonna say hello.I hate this so much for this family.May god restore sister donnas health and may god give all the family comfort.

So sorry to here that Andy has passed due to this uncalled for tradgity. Praying for his wifes recovery and the days ahead. RIP Andy ! Hopefully justice will be served, and this crook gets the punishment he deserves .
So now add vehicular manslaughter to his list of charges. I hope he gets the death penalty. True Justice, a life for a life!
Andy was my only brother left. Now its just me an my two sisters left. Andy passed away yesterday from the werck. We never got to tell him good by his wife never got to see him before he passed. Keep us in yalls prayers.
In Alabama he could be facing second degree murder charges. Whatever he gets it will not be enough!
Now when the charges are up graded you will be getting a murder charge along with everything else!!!! You are truly going to prison for a long time !!!! Kiss your life GOODBYE!!!!!!!
Andy Moye was my brother it is said he had to go this way. We could not tell him good by.
This saddens me beyond! May you rest in peace Mr Andy, and may God give Teresa the strength to keep going. Its a shame that such innocent folks die, because of scum like this. May justice be served to you young man!!!
