Chipley, FL – The Washington County Sheriff’s Office announces the arrest of Darryl Wayne Mollett at approximately 9:39 a.m. Tuesday, April 7th.


WCSO investigators received information that Mollett was arrested this morning in Brevard County during an attempted bank robbery. Mollett was taken into custody and is being held in the Brevard County Jail at this time.


On Friday, April 3rd, WCSO deputies had received information that a fugitive from Brevard County was possibly staying at a residence on Bunyon Drive in Sunny Hills and were in en route to the residence around 5:10 p.m. when they were spotted by the suspect, 29 year-old Darryl Mollett.


After spotting the officers, Mollett ran a stop sign and wrecked his vehicle after nearly striking a deputy's patrol car. He then fled on foot.


During the ensuing chase, deputies came upon a woman near the entrance of the Sunny Hills community center who had been struck in the head with what appeared to be a heavy object. Investigators believe Mollett attacked the 45 year-old victim and took her car, a red Volkswagen Jetta, and fled in an unknown direction.


“We could not be more grateful to our staff and assisting agencies who have worked tirelessly on the apprehension of this violent fugitive” states Sheriff Haddock. “Our residents invested personally in this case and assisted with invaluable tips and leads like they have so many times in the past. When a community and law enforcement agencies work together, that is a difference maker. This was not only a violent attack on a member of our community, but a correctional officer and a member of our own extended law enforcement family. There wasn’t an officer here that wasn’t wholly committed to the apprehension of this guy so he can be held accountable for his crimes. “


Arrested and charged was:


Darryl Wayne Mollett, 29 year old white male of Brevard County, FL


· Possession of a Firearm by Convicted Felon (Prior Warrant Brevard County, FL)


· Aggravated Assault with Firearm (Prior Warrant Brevard County, FL)


· Armed Robbery (Prior Warrant Brevard County, FL)


· Robbery (Branch Banking and Trust Bank Indian Harbour Beach, FL)


Additional charges from Washington County, FL are expected.


Washington County Sheriff’s Office asks that anyone with information on illegal activity contact us at 638-TIPS (8477) or by email at[email protected].
