Man Arrested After FHP Chase That Started On Highway 29
December 7, 2024
A 28-year-old man was arrested after a Florida Highway Patrol chase that started on Highway 29.
Tres’ DeMichael Dawson was charged with fleeing and eluding, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving, vehicle theft, hit and run, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest. He remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond.
An FHP trooper observed a speeding SUV on Highway 29 north of Nine Mile Road and attempted to stop the vehicle with lights and sirens. FHP said the driver fled east on 9 1/2 Mile Road and then south on Highway 95A. The pursuit ended when Dawson attempted to turn left on Flagler Drive and the trooper used intentional contact to end the chase.
Troopers said Dawson fled a short distance on foot before being tased. He was transported to West Florida Hospital for evaluation before being booked into the Escambia County Jail.
FHP said suspected narcotics were also seized from the vehicle and will be sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement lab for testing.

All three guns in the photo appear to be pellet guns with containers used as targets. These appear NOT to be real guns and no gun charges were filed.
Bless our awesome Leo’s who are after these thugs on a daily basis 24/7/365…hourly, daily, yearly. As awesome as they are, there needs to be recruits waiting in line to help them. Thanks for getting this care-less bump off the street. Thank you for your hard work, Law Enforcement Officers.
@Roger … our LEO community is overwhelmed by drugs and the resulting crimes, ie murders, B&E, auto theft, etc. The crimes are multiplying daily. However, the number of Leo’s are lacking to make even a small dent in those crimes. Even with city, county, state and federal task force partners, that is still not enough.
Because of this shortage, a citizen can witness drug related crimes, and unless there is an immediate threat to life, chances are slim that a leo will arrive in time to do anything, especially if this takes place in unincorporated Escambia County.
We need to double our law enforcement presence if we have any hope to get on top of this. That requires Tallahassee to help.
The gun on the right is probably stolen, that’s an old gun called the broom stick
I see several firearms; were there any charges related to those?
There is ALWAYS a reason they run..
Drugs are rotting our society ..
There are a lot of people effected but do nothing to stop it.
