Two Teens Charged After Vehicle Stolen During Armed Robbery Is Wrecked In Cantonment Yard
May 9, 2022
Two teens have been arrested for an armed robbery Saturday afternoon in Brownsville that ended with the car wrecked in the front yard of a home on Highway 297A in Cantonment.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 1200 block of Z Street about 2:10 p.m. after a woman reported she was being robbed in front of her home at gunpoint.
Investigators said surveillance video from outside the home showed the incident as Zacharias Jackson-Holley and Shawn Albert, both aged 17, took the victim’s wallet and phone while displaying what appeared to be an “AR-style” rifle . The suspects then took her 2020 Dodge Charger out of her driveway.
The ECSO later received reports of the Dodge Charger being driven recklessly in the area of Pine Forest Road and Highway 297A.
Responding deputies arrived shortly after the stolen vehicle hit a tree and flipped into the yard of a home on Highway 297A and Sandicrest Lane, near the Heritage Baptist Church. Southard said deputies had not pursued the vehicle prior to the crash.
Albert was found lying next to the upside-down stolen Dodge Charger, according to deputies, and the gun was also found. It was determined to be a BB gun.

The suspects were taken into custody and then transported to area hospitals for their injuries.
Jackson-Holley, who was previously adjudicated as an adult was charged with armed carjacking and criminal mischief. Albert was charged with sudden snatching, armed carjacking and criminal mischief. The sheriff’s office is recommending Albert to be tried as an adult.
Jackson-Holley (pictured) remained in the Escambia County Jail Monday afternoon with bond set at $105,000. Information on Albert’s status was not available.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the vehicle crash.

To RaD: it may have just been a bb gun but they used it in a capacity as a real gun so hopefully they will have a weapon charge.
They will get a chance to do this again…and again…and again… there’s no justice..
It’s almost a foregone conclusion that these two “children” will likely get a sweetheart plea deal and probably probation with anger management class – which they will likely violate several times all in the name of “restorative justice” before a judge has no choice but to actually take them off the street.
Unfortunately, when you combine the massive number of cases combined with comparatively few assistant state attorneys (i.e. 1 attorney covering over 100+ cases at a time) – and extremely lenient judges (not all though) you get the mess that is this – I am willing to bet that this isn’t these juveniles’ first time in handcuffs. ECSO hands them repeat offenders with good cases but they remain in the street – after taking a deal.
Teenagers and they are already committing armed robbery and carjacking. Bright future ahead of these two.
Let us hope they both get tried as adults. Then we get to watch the parents cry and proclaim they were good kids just with mental problems, and they didn’t know they had a gun, and it’s the cops fault blah blah blah.
I hope NorthEscambia follows up with this story. I would love to know the criminal background of these two and if they were on probation already thanks to a liberal judge. I would also like to know who the judge was if that’s the case so I know who not to vote for.
During a felony, if you say you have a gun but dont show it because you. State law still convicts that you had a gun. A bb gun can kill. A young man in Mobile died from a bb not too long ago.
@RaD they certainly have, and likely intended to give, the victim the impression they had a firearm. That it was a BB gun should not matter, the victim would reasonably fear for her life since she would reasonably believe they threatened her with a firearm.
@ dee I promise they want I’m the victim this is so sad
If you do not use your real name when you post you hide behind your weak “opinions”. Anonymous means you are scared your views will be seen as lacking facts.
We need more guns. That is obviously the answer. We could have stopped these guys.
BB Guns are not firearms so while they may be charged with being armed, I doubt they will not be charged with anything specific to firearms.
17 and lucky to be alive !!! So hopefully they will get the max sentence when convicted!!! See people like this are a menace to everyone including their selves and probably easily could have killed a innocent person so now it’s time to pay up !!! I would like to see them get at least 40 yrs each no gain time do all in prison no deals all of it !!!
Two 17 year old rob a women and steal her car with what appears to be a AR 15 type weapon. Suppose they were shot and killed and later found out it was a BB Gun. I would have shot them both as I don’t know its a BB Gun. When you use a weapon that looks like the real thing it’s a split second decision to fire on them. People would be outraged that man shoots and kills two 17 year old children that was only using a BB Gun in commission of crime. They got off lucky.

They ran my wife and I off the road and almost hit a woman in a red car head on. As well as a man going across Klondike.
In response to C. E., I was the man crossing the road. I saw and heard the whole incident. The car slammed on its brakes and skidded unto Dunaway Street after it passed me. I heard the car coming, roaring like a race car, up Mobile Hwy. just before I crossed Klondike to get my mail.
This right here is exactly why I carry and always have one in the chamber. You pull up on someone with what looks like a AR15, or anything for that matter you better hope it ain’t a BB gun because all its gonna take is one person with any half decent training to pull out their CCW and *POP*! Praying for those involved, hope these two idgets get what’s coming to them.
@ Michelle .. Sorry you had to go through a horrible experience. Prayers for you to a quick recovery and smooth transition back to daily life again. Those two thieves will pay the price for what they did if our Justice System has any brains at all.
Im’ glad we were not on the road bc my husband would have chased them down.
Apparently a Dodge Charger is a good vehicle to crash in.
WOW !!
I was the lady who car they stole I’m doing ok just shock a little y’all continue to pray for me
I saw the aftermath of this being hauled away on two wreckers, two flatbed wreckers! Those people in that car are so lucky to have survived. I hope they count their blessings but I also hope they are held accountable. Make better choices people!
Now the Tax Payer will be the Big Loser.
Man I saw this guy yesterday and oh man he was the craziest driver I ever seen. I seen him for miles.. he kept making uturns and driving like a stunt man.. the car was a hellcat version..it’s unbelievable he didn’t hit anyone.. he almost hit me twice. I would like to point out one thing so I don’t sound bias 15 minutes after he sped on off I see him again on 29 heading back to heading back in the direction he came from the first time. but this time he was smoothly driving right next an e.c.s.o. marked cruiser at approximately 2:40 pm.. it’s amazing he was never spotted.. I even thought maybe the hellcat was an undercover car they were so close.. don’t let the story of these individuals overshadow that there are victims that were robbed at gun point. These are all allegations that will need to be proven in court. My personal opinion is the world would be a better place if they died in the hospital and that comes with multiple incentives for everyone including them.. FL is a life sentence for robbery with a firearm.. so they get the luxury of not dying in prison. The tax payers save money and so does the family’s of the defendants because life in prison cost them too.. this is all written with sincere integrity & no jokes. I am also grateful for the people that called 911.. if you are reading this always remember if you have a high speed chase with the devil.. Jesus better be the make and model of your vehicle.
How did they survive that!???
Probably teenagers and they will get a slap on the wrist. Like saying it’s okay to do it again!! That’s how the system works!
They ran my wife and I off the road and almost hit a woman in a red car head on. As well as a man going across Klondike.
You mean THEY SURVIVED??!!! Pray they recognize GRACE and MERCY and turn their lives around for the GOOD!!
This proves that God has a purpose for everyone. These two have a testimony and I pray that every time they look at a picture of that vehicle, I can’t even tell what it is, that they realize that. God definitely spared them.
I feel bad for the robbery victim, now having to go through the hassle of dealing with the insurance company on his totaled car, and for the homeowner who’s yard has been messed up the the thieves totaling the car in their yard. No sympathy at all for the thieves. No doubt they are already out on bail thanks to our liberal judges.
@ Citizen
Sadly, all the damage done is to someone else’s property.
Robbed victim at gunpoint
Stolen vehicle destroyed
Landscaping of innocent homeowner damaged.
Will be interesting to find out names and possible prior violations of Law.
So much thug life going on in our area makes one want to have one in the chamger.
Been living in this area my whole life all I can say lately is there goes the neighborhood.
Karma’s a bitch ain’t it. From the looks of the vehicle, they are very lucky to be alive, and in the process of driving like an idiot, they didn’t kill, or injured someone.
