Gulf Breeze police suspect escapes custody, Pensacola police helping with search
Pensacola police are searching for a man who escaped Gulf Breeze Police Department custody Monday night.
In an X (formerly known as Twitter) post, the PPD says they began searching for the escaped suspect around 11 p.m. near 14th Avenue and Gregory Street.
A GBPD press release says officers arrested 40-year-old Dmitriy Glushko for an outstanding warrant with nationwide extradition during a traffic stop at Gregory Street and 14th Avenue. After being placed in the patrol car, he managed to escape.

"While in the back of the patrol vehicle, Glushko was able to free a hand from his handcuffs, reach a partially cracked window, and open the door," the release says. "Glushko then ran from the vehicle on foot in the area of Gregory Street and 14th Avenue."
Glushko is a white man standing 5 feet, 10 inches tall and was last seen wearing a black tank top, shorts and one handcuff.
PPD expanded the search between 9th and 17 Avenues, using police dogs to try and find the suspect.
According to the release, Glushko now has another arrest warrant for escape from police custody, petit theft and obstruction without violence.
If you see the suspect, PPD and GBPD say to call 911 immediately.
