Navarre man reportedly tries to drown deputies, dog

What should have been a routine traffic stop ended with two police officers and a search and rescue dog fighting for their lives.

In the early morning hours of Sept. 25, a Gulf Breeze Police Officer observed 21-year-old Kyle Michael Estes, of Navarre, driving at  a  “high rate of speed”  across the Pensacola Bay Bridge, according to a report issued by the Gulf Breeze Police Department.

When Estes wouldn’t pull over, the officer in pursuit, Greg Baker, reportedly radioed for backup.
