Cantonment Man Leads Deputies On Chase, Crashes Into Power Pole
May 8, 2023
An early morning police chase ended when the suspect crashed a stolen vehicle into a power pole in Cantonment on Monday.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, deputies spotted 37-year old Winston Joseph Nobles of Cantonment driving a stolen vehicle on Pensacola Boulevard and Hannah Street in Ensley. He fled, with deputies giving chase.
During the chase, Nobles crashed the vehicle into the utility pole and a convenience store sign at Chemstrand and Kingsfield roads about 3:15 a.m.
The vehicle was stolen during an armed burglary inside the Pensacola city limits, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
Escambia County Fire Rescue said they had to extricate a passenger following the crash. Nobles and the passenger were transported to the hospital by Escambia County EMS.
Nobles was released from the hospital and booked into the Escambia County Jail at 9:17 a.m. on a felony charge of fleeing and eluding with disregard to safety and causing injury. He was being held without bond due to a bond revocation in another case.
Nobles is expected to face more charges from the Pensacola Police Department for the armed burglary and vehicle theft.
About 1,000 Florida Power & Light customers lost power as a result of downed power lines.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.

By the looks of that car, it’s an absolute MIRACLE they survived! Hopefully they will give their hearts & lives to our Lord Jesus Christ!
@Donna, after reading the latest article it would appear your stepson wasn’t quite as innocent as you say. Birds of a feather or does he just need to find better people to hang around with? Life choices aren’t either of their strong points obviously.
No such thing as hard labor in Florida prisons. The new generation calls that inmate abuse.
Donna I’m sorry about your stepson. Sad situation. Unfortunately all of your family can be trusted. Hard lesson to learn. Hope he gets well soon.
Well, Donna, I seriously doubt your stepson was ignorant as to the car being stolen. The two were driving a car belonging to a vulnerable citizen, completely destroyed it, and plunged hundreds of people into darkness. Both of them need a harsh lesson in what “don’t” means. I hope they get it.
Too bad the 1000 people who lost power can’t sue him. Just saying.
Haha David. All I know is this is my stepson that was the passenger. His cousin stole the car from an older dementia gentleman. My stepson nor any of the family knew that the vehicle was stolen. Sad situation for all the parents, children, family members & the victim of the stolen vehicle. Please keep the people in your prayers & know that God gave them both a 2nd chance at life.
Passenger did not steal the car. About charges, I am not for sure. Passenger in hospital. Thank you Jesus he is not dead nor anyone else killed. Driver will be gone a long time. Previous charges that he has had against him.
That car traveled a long way past the pole and sign he hit. It’s amazing anyone survived that
put him in prison, hard labor keep him there
I got a feeling this one is in trouble !!! Now ya probably gonna get some jail time out of this little mistake ya just made but that’s ok because I’m about 17 years you will get a chance to do it again!!!!
Is the passenger being charged to.
