Cantonment Man Accused Of Leading Pensacola Police On High Speed Chase
July 19, 2022
A Cantonment man is facing multiple charges for leading Pensacola Police on high speed chase that ended in a hospital parking lot.
Devin Joshua Marzan was charged with felony fleeing with disregard of safety to person or property, leaving the scene of a crash involving damage to property, obstructing without violence and possession of drug paraphernalia.
A check of the tag on a red Mitsubishi showed that it was not on the assigned vehicle, and a Pensacola Police Department officer attempted a traffic stop near the intersection of Olive Road and Johnson Avenue. Marzan turned west onto Johnson Avenue and attempted to flee from the marked PPD unit at speeds exceeding 80 mph, according to an arrest report. He continued, through a red light at Johnson Avenue and Olive and later into the West Florida Hospital parking lot. He struck concrete pillars surrounding a plastic gate, disabling his vehicle, the report continues.
Officers reported finding a digital scale with white powdery residue, along with a metal straw and a plastic straw with residue. The arrest report does not identify the residue.
Marzan ran though the hospital property and across University Avenue “before he fell down and was apprehended” the report states.
Marzan remained in the Escambia County Jail Tuesday morning with bond set at $19,500.

@Fence Jumper. The PPD and most other agencies have strict pursuit policies. The radio traffic is also recorded. So if the policy is violated and you try and cover it up on the radio it won’t work. When the blue lights are activated the dash cam is activated. Its easy to make judgements about issues you know nothing about. Maybe you should actually know what you’re talking about before offering an uneducated opinion.
Devin, you don’t have to do this. I know things got rough with your mom’s health. Life got hard. You’re worth more than this bull. GET RIGHT, DEVIN. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS BS. YOU HAVE WORKED HARD FOR A LONG TIME. DON’T SETTLE FOR THIS.
In the last two weeks once in Esc Co and just this weekend in Santa Rosa innocent people were killed by fleeing suspects and the police gave up the chase before the wreck so they say. This story reads as though the PPD did not give up the chase. Had he killed someone the story would have said the police stopped chasing them and then came upon the wreck. It just seems to easy to say we stopped chasing the suspect if a death occurs because of it.
Drugs will get you everytime!! You can run but you can’t hide.
The decision to try and outrun the law was a real bad one !!! Seriously did he really think he could get away from them NOT !!!!!! I was wondering how is that working out for ya !!!!!!
He’s a good looking young man. Terrible that he’s throwing his life away on drugs and those drugs will take all the charm with them. Worse there could have been fentenyl in it. Wake up and use your nostrils to smell the roses on God’s green earth instead, Devin.
you can speed on and try to get away however remember this way to much traffic and the fact you can’t out run the radios you will get caught and lucky the k9 wasn’t deployed ouch you will hurt for months.. trust me pensacola florida is no place to do crimes camaras are everywhere reminds me of that song — ( old red ) by Blake Shelton — – Florida — police — don’t — play –
If he was in a Corolla, he would have got away.
Looks like he fell down on the way to lock up. Ouch!!
