Escambia Woman Sentenced To 24 Years For DUI Manslaughter Of Two On I-10
November 15, 2013
An Escambia County woman is headed to prison for a DUI manslaughter for a crash on I-10 last October that claimed the lives of an adult and a child.
Kimberly Renee Rodrigues was sentenced by Judge W. Joel Boles to 24.45 years in state prison for of two counts of DUI manslaughter, one count DUI causing great bodily harm and one count DUI causing property damage. She was convicted following a two-day trial.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Rodrigues was traveling west on I-10 near the Pine Forest exit about 4:40 a.m. on October 21, 2012. Prosecutors said she was traveling approximately 86 miles per hour when she slammed into the rear of a delivery truck driven by Melissa Lynn Lyublanovits, 44, of Pensacola.
Moments later, a GMC Yukon driven by Riviera Beach resident Lovett Cummings approached in the outside lane and swerved to avoid Rodrigues pickup. Cummings barely missed Rodrigues’ truck but his Yukon then rolled several times before coming to a rest in the trees on the north shoulder of the Interstate.
His 11-year old son, Lovett Deshun Cummings II, was ejected and died on the scene, while his 71-year old father, Lovett Junior Cummings, was also killed in the crash. Cummings’ mother was seriously injured and was airlifted by Life Flight from the scene. The delivery truck driver was unhurt.
Shortly after the crash, Rodrigues’ blood alcohol content was determined to be 0.166/0.170, over twice the legal limit.

Escambia Man Sentenced On Child Abuse Charges
November 15, 2013
An Escambia County man was convicted of child abuse without great bodily harm Thursday. Circuit Judge Linda Nobles sentenced David Best to 18 months in state prison followed by 24 months probation.
The charges stem from an incident that occurred on February 26, 2013, in Best’s front yard. The defendant told the victim he was going to put his cigarette out in her face and did so by flicking it from a few feet away. The cigarette hit the victim in her right eye.
Their were two witnesses that heard and saw the incident. The victim suffered a burn to her right eye. The case was investigated by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
U.S. Marshals Arrest Wanted Arkansas Kidnapper
November 14, 2013
The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force captured a wanted man who was wanted by law enforcement in Arkansas for kidnapping a teenage girl who is believed to be his niece.
Late Tuesday evening, the U.S. Marshals in El Dorado, Arkansas, contacted the Marshals Task Force in Pensacola requesting their help in locating fugitive Phillip Thomas Nussey who was believed to have abducted his niece and thought to be heading toward Milton where he has ties.
The Marshals in Arkansas advised the Marshals in Pensacola to be on the lookout for a 1998 White Ford Crown Victoria, the car that reportedly had been used to abduct the young girl. The Task Force was provided with some information on some addresses but were unable to find the car in this area. Task Force Officers then eventually figured out Nussey had a former girlfriend living in Milton, but were still unable to locate him.
A Task Force Officer from Escambia County Sheriff’s Office checked the home of the ex-girlfriend on the 6500 Block of Dogwood Drive and found the Crown Victoria parked outside. Around 11:00 pm, Marshals and Task Force Officers from Santa Rosa, Escambia and Walton County along with a K9 unit from Santa Rosa County converged on the home but no one inside would open the door.
Officers then forcibly entered the residence and found Nussey hiding in the bathroom. The 38 year-old Nussey was then arrested without any incident. The missing girl, along with his ex-girlfriend was found inside unharmed.
Nussey faces charges in Arkansas for the abduction, and is allegedly a suspect in sexual molestation cases in both Arkansas and Virginia. Thomas may also face charges in Santa Rosa County for kidnapping, obstruction of justice and resisting arrest. He will remain in the Santa Rosa County Jail until he is extradited back to Arkansas. The car was impounded and may be treated as a crime scene.
Cantonment Man Charged With Home Invasion Robbery
November 14, 2013
A Cantonment man is facing multiple felony charges in connection with a home invasion robbery last month at a Pensacola motel.
Tony Michael Robinson, Jr., was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of armed burglary, grand theft, robbery with a firearm and home invasion robbery.
Robinson, 28, allegedly took part a home invasion robbery September 9 at the Super 6 motel on Plantation Road. The victims told deputies that four black males, one of which was later identified as Robinson, pointed guns into their faces and, searched their vehicle and forced them into their hotel room. Several items were reported stolen, including a $200 watch, an Acer laptop, $10 in cash and a foods stamp card with a $360 balance.
Robinson was positively identified in a photo lineup by the victims. He remained in the Escambia County Jail early Thursday morning with bond set at $310,000.
At last report, the three other suspects in the home invasion robbery had not been identified.

November 14, 2013
During the past few weeks, hundreds of students from Byrneville and Bratt elementary schools have taken a virtual trip to Italy, thanks to the Global Corner Learning Center.
The students spent time learning about the language, arts, culture, geography and more of a unique land half a world away. Each year, The Global Corner teachers take students from their classroom virtually to another country. Through The Global Corner, local students have “visited” Japan, Spain, Egypt, Brazil, Russian, and now Italy.
The non-profit Global Corner was conceived by its director, Lee Hansen, as part of her vision for the Pensacola area to become a player in the global economy and to have Northwest

Suspected Pipe Bomb Destroyed By Bomb Squad (With Photos)
November 14, 2013
An item suspected to be a possible pipe bomb found alongside Highway 29 in Cantonment Wednesday morning turned out to be harmless.
“It looked like pipe with caps at both ends and a wick or something coming out of it,” George Guntner of Guntner Custom Pools in the 800 block of South Highway 29 said. He said he saw the device laying alongside Highway 29 and became suspicious because it looked like a pipe bomb.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Bomb Squad responded just after 10 a.m., and Highway 29 was closed as a precaution from about Chemstrand Road to Muscogee Road.
A member of the bomb squad could been seen carrying the device attached a to a tripod-like stand (pictured left) to an open area of a parking lot. At 11:43 a.m. cries of “Fire in the hole” could be heard from the scene followed by the sound of a controlled explosion by the bomb squad to neutralize the object.
“The possible device was destroyed by the Fire Marshal’s bomb tech,” Sgt Andrew Hobbs, a spokesman for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, said at the scene. “It was determined that it was not an explosive device.”
After the object was neutralized, Highway 29 was reopened after being closed for about two hours.
Multiple units from Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS also responded to the incident.

Bill Would Prohibit Smoking On Playgrounds
November 14, 2013
Rep. Katie Edwards, D-Plantation, on Wednesday filed the House version of a measure that would give local governments the ability to prohibit smoking on playgrounds. The proposal would allow municipalities and counties to restrict smoking in local government-owned playground areas as an expansion of the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act.
The act, approved by voters in 2002, prohibits smoking in most enclosed indoor workplaces.
The Senate version (SB 342) was filed last week by Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island. Bradley tried to pass a broader bill (SB 258) during the 2013 legislative session that would have allowed restrictions on smoking on municipal or county properties, but it died in the Community Affairs Committee.

November 14, 2013

Bill Aimed At Gun Regulations on Government Property
November 14, 2013
A South Florida lawmaker filed a bill this week that would give cities and counties more power to regulate guns on property they own. Rep. Jim Waldman, D-Coconut Creek, filed the proposal (HB 305) on Tuesday.
It would change a law that has left regulation of firearms and ammunition to the Legislature.
The bill says there are “municipalities and counties that seek to exercise their home rule powers in the field of regulation of firearms and ammunition upon property owned by such municipality or county with the same freedom that they have in other fields to consider and account for local conditions and sensibilities.”
It appears highly unlikely, however, that the bill will pass during the 2014 legislative session. Both chambers of the Republican-controlled Legislature have been staunch supporters of gun rights.
