Rabies Alert For Jay Area After Fox Tests Positive
April 14, 2021
A rabies alert has been issued for the Jay area by the Florida Department of Health in Santa Rosa County. The alert is in response to a report of a positive result for rabies in a fox on Monday.
The rabies alert will be in effect for the next 60 days.
An animal with rabies may appear sick or lethargic, have problems swallowing, or drool or salivate excessively. A wild animal may appear tamer than usual and some animals may have no visible symptoms.
All residents and visitors in Santa Rosa County should be aware that rabies is present in the wild animal population and domestic animals are at risk if not vaccinated. Alerts are designed to increase awareness to the public, but they should not give a false sense of security to areas that have not been named as under an alert.
An animal with rabies could infect other wild or domestic animals that have not been vaccinated against rabies. All domestic animals should be vaccinated against rabies and all contact with wildlife should be avoided, particularly raccoons, bats, foxes, skunks, otters, bobcats and coyotes. Rabies is a disease of the nervous system and is fatal to warm blooded animals and humans. The only treatment for human exposure to rabies is rabies specific immune globulin and rabies immunization. Appropriate treatment started soon after the exposure will protect an exposed person from the disease.

Deadly Hit And Run Driver Now Charged With Vehicular Homicide
April 13, 2021
An Escambia County man accused in a deadly hit and run accident on Mobile Highway last week was formally charged Tuesday.
Charles Fitzgerald Levi Noble, 34, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on charges of vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of a crash and destruction of evidence. He is being held without bond.
Noble surrendered at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office last week after the vehicle he was allegedly driving was located, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. He was not immediately arrested at that time.
The blue Mustang involved in the crash was recognized by a man who saw the vehicle description in the news, and he called authorities. It was parked outside the WoodSpring Suites in the 2000 block of West Detroit Boulevard with the damage covered by a tarp. Troopers responded to the scene and seized the vehicle, which FHP said had front end damage consistent with the fatal hit and pedestrian crash.
FHP said the 49-year old female pedestrian was struck by a vehicle sometime late Tuesday, April 6 or early Wednesday, April 7 on Mobile Highway near Houston Avenue., about one-third of a mile south of Saufley Field Road. The impact of the collision knocked her down into a deep ditch. Victim names are no longer released by FHP.

Driver Seriously Injured In Crash Involving Parked Vehicle, Residence
April 13, 2021
A Pensacola man was seriously injured in a crash involving a parked vehicle and a residence late Monday night in Escambia County.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the 25-year old man was traveling at a high rate of speed on Requin Lane at 11:35 p.m. when he failed to stop at a stop sign and traveled across Guidy Lane. His Ford pickup collided with an unoccupied Honda in a private driveway. That caused the Honda to travel forward and hit a residence, and the pickup overturned turned between two residences.
The driver was trapped in the vehicle and extricated by Escambia Fire Rescue. He was transported by Escambia County EMS to Sacred Heart Hospital for treatment. There were no injuries in either residence, but one was damaged.
FHP said their investigation is continuing and charges are pending. The driver’s name was not released.
