Wrong Lane, Wrong State: Atmore Man Arrested For DUI In Pensacola

April 1, 2026

An Atmore  man was arrested for DUI after a traffic stop in the area of Pensacola Boulevard and Kenmore Road in Escambia County.

According to an arrest report from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy observed a gray Nissan Titan driven by Dangelo Cartez Tucker reversing while in the wrong lane of travel on Kenmore Road. During the stop, the deputy noted that Tucker appeared disoriented, claiming he was currently in Atmore rather than Pensacola.

The reporting officer observed that Tucker’s eyes were bloodshot and glazed, and a Michelob Ultra beer can was visible in the driver’s seat. Tucker allegedly refused to perform field sobriety tests and initially refused a breath sample. Although he later attempted to provide a sample, the report states he failed to cooperate after four opportunities.

Tucker was charged with DUI influence of alcohol or drugs and refusal to submit to DUI testing.  He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $1,000 bond
