Reported Carjacking In Cottage Hill Ends With Suspect Fleeing From Santa Rosa Deputies
August 24, 2023
A reported carjacking Thursday morning in Cottage Hill ended with the suspect fleeing from Santa Rosa County deputies.
A resident of Parker Road reported the carjacking about 5:30 a.m. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said the victim told dispatchers that he was following the suspect who was driving his gray Toyota Tacoma. The suspect went east on Quintette Road toward Santa Rosa County, and the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office was notified.
The ECSO said Santa Rosa deputies initiated a pursuit on West Spencer Field Road.
Information was then received that no force was used — meaning it was simply a stolen vehicle, not a forcible felony carjacking — and the pursuit was canceled.
The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office said the vehicle took off from their deputies at a high rate of speed and later re-entered Escambia County.
No further description of the suspect was available.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

WOW! How Cottage Hill has changed. In the 50s and 60s there were only the Bookers and Commings family on a dirt road now called Parker Rd which should have been named as booker or Commings Rd. Nothing happened butt now there are druggies, and thieves running the whole area. There are a lot of good people in Cottage Hiill. The old Lamb farm no longer has cow’s pigs and other farm crops, but now is a housing development with nice homes and more than likely families with sever police officers living there. A few rotten apples are destroying the neighborhhood reputation.
Doesn’t pass the smell test. Good on Santa Rosa for canceling this pursuit. Property is never worth it. That is chasing a “supposed” stolen vehicle, which could result in a crash that may cause injuries or worse to others. By the way, how’d the alleged thief get access to the truck?
