October 14, 2023
A woman is charged with three counts of attempted murder following a road rage incident in Escambia County.
Melissa Danielle Johnson, 30, was also charged with the three counts of attempted murder, deadly missiles into a vehicle, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana weighing less than 20 grams. She was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.
The incident happened Thursday in the area of Barrancas Avenue.
“The victims claimed that the shooting was the result of a road rage incident, where the suspect fired a single shot from their vehicle into the victim’s vehicle, resulting in one of the passengers being injured and transported to the hospital prior to the deputies’ arrival,” the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Johnson contacted the ECSO, identified herself as the suspect, and turned herself in. When deputies searched her vehicle, the firearm and narcotics were located.

bloody hell. Not the smartest criminals in FL huh?
“Re: I’m not a smart man…” I was thinking the exact same thought when she turned herself in but was clueless or on those drugs apparently to FORGET to remove the illegals sitting in her car. Duh…! But you could say she was being honest and realized she needed to confess to all issues… LOL … I suspect NOT.
The pathetic bleed heart judges in pensacola will slap her on the wrist just like they do the other violent criminals..
“I’m not a smart man…”
But I’m smart enough to take any contraband (I may have) out of my car before turning myself in.
