Stephon Dewaunn Dudley, Jr. is sentenced to 25 years in state prison for his role in an armed carjacking that occurred at a Pensacola Whataburger in May 2023. The 25-year-old was found guilty of carjacking with a firearm and robbery with a deadly weapon, with evidence including a firearm and stolen items discovered after a high-speed chase that resulted in the death of his accomplice.

Just four months prior, he had been released from prison after serving time for multiple offenses, highlighting a troubling pattern of criminal behavior.
