High Speed Chase Ends With Crash, Arrest On Pine Forest Road
January 13, 2024
An Escambia County man was jailed after leading deputies on a pursuit Thursday afternoon.
Ja’Corey Tyquell Clay, 25, was charged with fleeing and eluding, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, cocaine possession and marijuana possession.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Clay fled from deputies during a traffic stop attempt near Untreiner Avenue and Lepley Road.
Clay “drove towards another deputy’s vehicle, causing the deputy to take evasive action to avoid collision by driving off the road. Deputies canceled the pursuit due to safety concerns,” ECSO said. Deputies located Clay’s vehicle a short time later traveling north on Pine Forest Road and a second traffic stop was attempted.
“The pursuit ended when Deputy Beaty bumped the fleeing vehicle, which led to the vehicle ultimately hitting a trailer and coming to a stop in a ditch,” ECSO said in a statement. The pursuit ended in a ditch at Pensacola Memorial Gardens.
Clay was taken into custody by Deputy Beaty and K-9 Maddox. He was booked into jail with bond set $22,500.

If I wouldn’t of slowed down when I heard sirens the felon would of T-boned me. I was going south and I heard a siren so I slow down and look in my mirrors to see if it was behind me and saw nothing then I seen in the north bound lanes a white vehicle with a ECSO behind him and I’m thinking “hey get over out of the Officers way” then it was so fast it was almost a blur, the ECSO bumped him which I’m sure he wanted to spin him out but the driver recovered from spinning but came across the south bound lanes, within about 10 feet of me but I was already just about stopped and straight into the ditch and WOW as hard as he hit that ditch I’m surprised he walked away. The ECSO was a fraction of a second behind him he jumped out and got his K-9 and I’m thinking if the guy in the car isn’t seriously hurt and the Officer needs his K-9 I don’t want to be where bullets could possibly start flying so I eased over to the left in the turning lane and went on about my business and the car behind me must of had the same thoughts because he followed me but all the other traffic stayed. I thank God He protected me from being hit from the fleeing car.
James Turk I never saw the trailer it hit.
Drug runners don’t use their own vehicles smh! Obviously, they are smarter than the average TURKey lol!!! They steal a car (or license plate) right before making the run.
These folks watching to many Toc and You-Tube clips from blue cities… Creating situation of illegality…
Surprise surprise. Another repeat offender out causing havoc. Needs major time added for public endangerment fleeing and eluding.
How to say you are liberal without saying you’re liberal? James Turk
How about not running from the law. Agree with mandatory sentences for those who flee Hold people responsible for actions
Whose trailer?
Yet another near fatal pursuit that damaged citizens property, sounds like.
A license plate wasn’t obtained during the first pursuit? Enhanced tactics could not have gone to the address the vehicle is registered to, arrested him then?
turned a 3rd degree felony into two second degree felony’s with probably minimum mandatory sentences . Didn’t think !
I agree..when fleeing from LEO 15 YEARS ADDED for endangering the public..also $10,000 added to bond..
He put all those people on the street in danger. There should be a sentencing enhancement that requires the judge to add 15 years to any case where the suspect fled from cops on a motorcycle or motorized vehicle. I know it will not stop all of them. But enough of them will think twice about it.
Remember what your mama said THAT DOG WILL BITE YOU!!!!!
