Two Still Hospitalized After Their Vehicle Hit By Man Fleeing From Atmore Police Last Week
December 29, 2021

Two Flomaton residents are continuing to recover in a Pensacola hospital nearly a week after their vehicle was hit by a man fleeing from police in Atmore.
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 occupied by 62-year old Andy Moye and his wife, 48-year old Donna Theresa Moye, both of Flomaton. Both Moyes were airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
Weese fled on a foot but was captured a short distance away.
Weese was charged with felony first degree assault. He remained in the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center in Brewton Wednesday where he was being held without bond.

Andy was my Dad I will miss him I didn’t get to see him much
but I know he loved me and part of him will live on in me .
That charge is probably just to keep him in jail. When (or if) he goes to trial, I would bet other charges would be added.
Why isn’t he charged with more serious charges. Andy and Teresa never bother anyone. They deserve more than just assault. They come close to losing their lives. Please everyone keep them both in your prayers.
Prayers for Andy and Theresa!
Assault? He was only charged with assault? ? What about the theft, which was the reason for the pursuit? Right? And speeding, attempt to elude, wreckless driving, etc.!?! Assault… SMH
And folks wonder what’s wrong with that generation..
Very sad situation. Please pray for Andy and Donna ♥️
I pray Mr & Mrs Moye will soon recover. As for the driver of the white truck I hope he goes to Fountain Correctional facility for a long time. Weese is a danger to society.
