Escambia Man Gets 25 Years For Fleeing Traffic Stop, Meth Trafficking

January 7, 2024

An Escambia county man has been sentenced to 25 years in state prison for drug trafficking and other charges after a pursuit and multiple crashes.

Charles Ingmire, Jr. was sentenced by Circuit Judge Coleman Lee Robinson to 25 years, including a 3 year minimum mandatory, in state prison for trafficking in methamphetamine, fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement, possession of fentanyl, leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage, and driving while license suspended or revoked third conviction.

On December 15, 2022, law enforcement officers attempted to pull Ingmire over for a traffic infraction at which time he fled at high speed and drove recklessly through heavy traffic areas. Ingmire struck another vehicle and continued to flee while driving on a rim. He eventually bailed out of the vehicle after crashing through a residential fence and striking additional vehicles. Prosecutors said Ingmire left drugs, identification, credit cards, his cell phone, and social security card in the vehicle.

Ingmire has a lengthy criminal history and served time in state prison on three prior occasions. He was convicted after a jury trial held on October 31, 2023.

    Hopefully he gets out in three years. I know him personally and he’s an amazing person with a rough past. He’s done some bad things but who doesn’t have a past that wasn’t even him that night in the vehicle the car was being borrowed by a “friend”. He was trying to change as a person he did a lot for the people in his community and will again. I don’t know I’m just out here preaching the word of Red.

    “3 year minimum mandatory”. So essentially a 3-year incarceration followed by 22 years of check-ins with a parole office. IF he complies…
