Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Donson in May after they allegedly caught him robbing the Raceway convenience store on Airport Boulevard.

That then led to a high-speed vehicle chase that ended at West Florida Hospital.

According to Sheriff Chip Simmons, Donson is responsible for robberies dating back to 2024. If convicted, Donson could face up to life in prison.
