Escambia Bank Robbery Suspect Nabbed In Mississippi
September 29, 2011
An Escambia County bank robbery suspect is behind bars today in Mississippi.
David Paul Beaudoin, 48, no permanent address, was arrested around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in Pascagoula, MS, after a Jackson County Sheriff’s deputy spotted him driving a car westbound on Interstate 10. The car had been reported stolen in Michigan a few months ago.
The deputy began following the suspect, who accelerated in an attempt to escape. A pursuit followed until Beaudoin crashed the car off Highway 90 near Pascagoula and fled on foot. He was taken into custody a short time later by a Jackson County Sheriff’s Office K-9 officer.
Beaudoin is a suspect in the robbery of SunTrust Bank on North Davis Highway on September 23, according to Pensacola Police. The suspect walked up to a teller, handed her a note demanding cash and lifted his shirt to show a handgun in his pants. The teller complied and the suspect left the bank on foot in an eastbound direction.
Pensacola Police Detective Chad Willhite said Beaudoin is being held in the Jackson County Adult Detention Center under local charges and a hold has also been placed on him by the Daphne, AL, Police Department for a bank robbery that occurred there Tuesday.
Willhite, who praised the Jackson County Sheriff’s deputy for spotting and following the suspect, said Beaudoin is a suspect in a number of bank robberies that have occurred between Pensacola and Missouri. An undisclosed amount of money was found in the stolen vehicle when Beaudoin was taken into custody Tuesday.

He’s even wearing the same shirt he robbed the bank in!! What a loser!!!! HaHa!
Thank heavens a deputy in Pascagoula knows how to do his job and is
diligent, and a Jackson County Officer had a great K-9. This is one
guy who won’t be out for a while I hope but it will now be up to our judges.
Excellent! Thanks to Law enforcement and technology for getting the bad guy! One more off the streets!
For some reason this guy kind of reminds me of the tall, skinny dog-napper on 101 Dalmatians
