An effort is underway to rename a portion of I-10 in Escambia County for an Escambia County deputy killed in the line of duty over 30 years ago. On December, 3, 1988, Deputy Don Cook was at a road-block on Interstate-10 when he was struck and killed by a car being pursued by Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s deputies. The suspects were taken into custody several miles away after their vehicle was disabled. On Thursday, the Escambia County Commission will vote on a resolution to support the naming of I-10 between Davis Highway and Highway 29 for Deputy Cook. If approved the resolution will advance to Florida State Senator Doug Broxson’s office.
