Pensacola man, woman accused of having drugs, shooting, fleeing police with infant in car

ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. (WKRG) — A man and woman from Pensacola were arrested on Saturday after committing several crimes while in a vehicle with a small child, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

An ECSO Facebook post said deputies responded to the report of gunshots on Saturday, Aug. 24, in which the caller said a woman had fired shots and drove off in an SUV.

Deputies attempted to make a traffic stop, which the driver refused, and a deputy used his vehicle to hit the SUV and make it stop at W. Jackson and Lynch Street.

LOCATION:

26-year-old Alexia Brooklyn Marita Goble informed deputies as they approached the vehicle that her 2-month-old baby was in the car. She then handed her baby over to the deputies.

In the vehicle, deputies say they found a loaded Beretta Cx4 Storm Rifle with 9mm ammunition, a plastic bag containing 7.1 grams of Fentanyl, 159.5 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

22-year-old Mel’trez Doneshia Coley was also in the vehicle.

None of the vehicle’s occupants were injured, but they were taken to the hospital, and the Florida Department of Children and Families responded.

Goble had been convicted three times before the incident for driving with a suspended license and was on probation. Coley had been convicted of robbery with a deadly weapon in November 2021.

Goble is accused of resisting officer, cruelty toward child, trafficking drugs, firing weapon, marijuana distribution, weapon offense, moving traffic violation, drug equipment possession and probation violation.

Coley is accused of trafficking drugs, marijuana distribution, weapon possession, drug equipment possession and probation violation.

They are each being held without bond.
