WANTED: 2 ‘armed and dangerous’ murder suspects in Escambia County, Florida

28-year-old Alexander George Deloach, who has a Molino address, was found on the 8400 block of Old Spanish Trail, according to officials.

Deloach allegedly tried to run from deputies and almost hit them with a vehicle.

Deputies performed a PIT maneuver to stop him at the intersection of Harbor Square and Breakwater Circle, according to officials. A Precision Immobilization Technique involves law enforcement forcing a vehicle to turn sideways, causing it spin and stop.

Deputies arrested Deloach and charged him with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana less than 20 grams.

Officials said Deloach had active warrants for homicide, revoked bond, and grand theft of a motor vehicle.
