Baby Injured By Falling Out Of Police Car After Being Taken From Home In Controversial SWAT Raid

The Pensacola Police Department has launched an investigation after parents say a child was hurt in its custody following a raid at a private residence.

Police rammed open Corey Marioneaux Jr’s Florida home early in the morning, while his two small children, aged one and three, were at home in bed.

Mr Marioneaux, 24, shot at officers during the February raid, which was made in relation to a shooting in Pensacola in January. The family claims the father was acting in self-defence and as he thought the officers were intruders.

Moiya Dixon, the children’s mother, lives at another address and received a call following the raid. “I get my baby and I see his face – and it’s almost unrecognisable compared to how he looked when I left him last,” she told Local12 news.

A picture of her one-year-old she took after the incident shows her son’s face bruised and scraped, with a swollen lip and bumps on his forehead.

The injury allegedly happened when both children were in the backseat of a car with an investigator. The investigator left the vehicle, and when he returned he didn’t realise the smallest child was leaning against the door. The officer opened the door the child fell out.

“The child was checked by EMS for injuries. Both children were later released to family members,” said Pensacola Police Department in a statement to ABC Channel 3. On seeing her son’s injuries Moiya Dixon immediately took her baby to hospital, where doctors confirmed a range of injuries.

Local12 reported that Pensacola Police Chief Eric Randall apologised to Ms Dixon for her child’s injury and pledged to look into the matter.

Mr Marioneaux will make his first court appearance on charges of attempted murder of a police officer on 24 February. The family claims he is a licensed gun owner and has no criminal record, and was protecting his family from people entering his home.

Police told reporters they announced they were at the property for “approximately 10 seconds” before forcibly entering the residence.

“He wasn’t a convicted felon, he wasn’t a person of interest,” said Marcus Lett, a relative of Marioneaux, to ABC Channel 3. Pastor LuTimothy May said Mr Marioneaux was a positive influence in the local community, and volunteered at the church and local organisations.

“The young man, once he found out it was the police, he laid down the weapon, he came out with his hands up,” said Pastor May.

Florida man charged with trying to kill a police officer who barged into his home has a new wrinkle — he could have very well been within his rights to fire at the officers.

Marioneaux’s family claims the search warrant was for electronics, WEAR reported.

Lett’s response shed light on Florida’s “stand your ground” law and the impact it could have on this case.

But after spending five years in jail awaiting trial, a court agreed that stand your ground applies in his case. Florida’s Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed and dismissed the case.

What was the warrant for?! Oh .. the warrant affidavit .. It claims someone shot a man who spent nearly a decade in prison for involvement in the 2013 murder of Marioneaux Jr.'s brother .. the affidavit -- which mention's two of Marioneaux Jr.'s family members and says one of them rented the truck involved in the Jan. 22 shooting. The affidavit adds a man matching Marioneaux Jr.'s description returned the truck. They obviously didn’t find anything to support it because the only charges are for the shooting of the police officers?!

Pensacola man Corey Marioneaux Jr. spoke to Channel 3 Wednesday night after the State Attorney's Office announced that he will not face criminal charges for shooting at Pensacola Police SWAT officers during a search warrant at his home in early February.

Marioneux told Channel 3 that the road to this outcome has been rough, but with his faith in God, he says he knew that he would see light in the situation.

Channel 3 asked Marioneaux Jr. if he thinks justice has been served for his situation, now that he will no longer be facing charges.

"Yes, from my situation, I think justice has been served but I still need justice for my kids," Marioneaux told Channel 3.

Marioneaux told Channel 3 that they are still pursuing lawsuits for his children against Pensacola Police and Escambia County EMS.

Marioneaux Jr.'s two children -- ages 1 and 3 -- were inside the home during the police-involved shooting. The 1-year-old was then injured while in custody of Pensacola Police following the incident -- sustaining injuries to his face, nose and head.

Channel 3 asked Marioneaux if he knew when he felt like charges would be dropped any time before Wednesday's announcement by the State Attorney's Office.

"I had it in my heart that God was gonna work everything out for me," Marioneaux said. "Everything is going to continue to work itself out."

Marioneaux says that those he spoke with on a daily basis continued to show their support when he was waiting to see if he would face charges.

"I appreciate them for that," Marioneaux said.

The Pensacola Police Department announced Friday that it had concluded an internal investigation into the events surrounding a PPD SWAT team's exchange of gunfire with Corey Marioneaux Jr. earlier this year and the subsequent injury of Marioneaux's child.

A written release from the PPD stated that an investigation, conducted by the agency's own internal affairs unit, found that officers violated neither police policy nor state statues during their Feb. 3 interactions with 23-year-old Marioneaux and his family.
