PENSACOLA, Fla. (CBS12) — A man and woman are accused of fleeing with a two-month-old baby, drugs and a rifle in their car after firing shots in Escambia County.

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office (ECSO) said it received a call on Saturday that a woman fired shots and fled the area in a black SUV.

Responding officers found the SUV and attempted to make a traffic stop, but the woman refused to comply.

ECSO reported that officers performed a PIT maneuver that stopped the SUV at the corner of West Jackson and Lynch Streets in West Pensacola.

Officers approached the vehicle and identified the suspect as Alexia Goble and the passenger as Mel'trez Coley. Goble told officers that her two-month-old baby was in the car and handed them the baby.

In addition to the baby, officers said they also found a loaded rifle, 7.1 grams of fentanyl, 159.5 grams of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
