Cantonment Man Charged After Alleged Road Rage Incident
July 6, 2022
A Cantonment man is facing charges after an alleged road rage incident.
Marvin Eugene Darby, 27, was charged with second degree felony throwing deadly missiles at an occupied vehicle and first degree misdemeanor criminal mischief.
A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was sitting at the intersection of Pensacola Boulevard when he observed a Chevy Trax driven by Darby and a pickup truck sitting nearby. The trooper said Darby exited his vehicle and began hitting on the hood of the pickup truck. Darby was taken into custody by FHP and turned over to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim said he was traveling to church with his 5-year old daughter and exited I-110 onto Airport Boulevard. At the intersection of Airport and Palafox Street, Darby allegedly threw an object which struck the pickup truck’s passenger door, near where the child was sitting. Darby continued to drive aggressively, forcing the pickup in to the median, an arrest report states, before Darby thew another object at the truck which hit the passenger window.
The victim could not identify the objects thrown at his vehicle, but described them as “large and black”. A deputy noted small dents and scratches to the passenger door of the victim’s truck.
Darby told the deputy that it was his accuser that threw objects at his Chevy Trax. The deputy observed pre-existing damage on Darby’s vehicle that had touch-up paint on it.
Darby was released on a $7,500 bond.

@Jim You have no Constitutional rights to social media and if everything is documented in the system properly he should not own a gun either if he applies, period. I have said it and said it, the reason we are in the situation we are in right now in this country is that we’ve catered to every little groups rights. I’m sorry not every group deserves rights. Wait until the pendulum swings back ultra conservative, because every extreme action by one side will provoke an extreme reaction, so when the pendulum swings the other way… I’m personally looking forward to it, then these groups can crawl back under the rocks they crawled out from under… and people like this can go straight to prison where they belong.
Certainly not defending this person, but I can understand road rage. I am 73 year old woman and have never gotten a ticket, only one accident, which wasn’t my fault, but I drive a tall Nissan Van with an enclosed trailer as big as my van, and people pull out in front of me a lot of time. Some, I have just about have to put the nose of that van inside their vehicle. As much as I would love to do a few things to the driver, that is as far as it goes. The things I have in my head to what I would love to do stays inside my head. I figure, I’ll let Karma take care of them, or someone that is stupid enough to act out on their road rage fantasy take care of them. I will not allow stupid drivers drive me to a point where I throw things at them, or what ever. Am I perfect? Hell no. Yep, once in a while, I do the old sign language
dopers, they are everywhere.
This little fella hasn’t run up on the right person yet. That tattoo? Be willing to bet that it’s as fake as his stories on how he got it. I fully agree with Mnon. People out acting foolish just because they think they can I’m not saying one way or the other about if it had been someone else he did this to but y’all are all thinking that very same thing. Grow up little fella before you act this way towards someone else who may just alter your expectancy around here…
He’s lucky all he got was arrested
Well well well !!! I guess this kid didn’t expect anybody to be watching his stupid actions!!! Well guess what there are people always watching and I hope you get you a little bit of time out of this stupid act !!!!
@mnon ~ I agree, he needs to face the consequences of his actions, but in this country, we don’t start taking away Constitutional rights because someone messes up. We’ve all done stupid things, lost our temper for no good reason, or taken our frustrations out on others. I also agree that someone needs to take a look at what’s going on with this young man; maybe he needs counseling, maybe he needs intervention, and he definitely needs our prayers, but we don’t take away someone’s future over something like this.
(And, no, I’m not excusing his behavior.)
Here is your sign ESCO. Watch this dude.
You been crying bruh?
A teardrop tattoo… seriously, dude has been watching too much Dr Dre on MTV. I read yesterday that facial tattoos are the first sign someone is not right in the head. Here’s your early warning sign LEO, keep an eye on his social media and make sure he has no access to guns.
