Female driver faces child endangerment and other charges after fleeing from deputies

On November 15, 2021, Deputy Griggs observed a blue Chevy Impala traveling northbound on S. Highway 314A. A computer check revealed the owner of the vehicle, Melanie Consiglio (DOB: 05/11/1981, W/F), had outstanding warrants for six (6) felony offenses. After observing the vehicle fail to stop at multiple stop signs, Deputy Griggs attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle, later determined to be Consiglio, fled from Deputy Griggs.

A pursuit was initiated and Consiglio fled from Griggs for several miles. During the pursuit, a spare tire on Consiglio’s vehicle popped. Then, Deputy Stringer disabled a second tire through the use of stop sticks. This caused Consiglio’s speed to decrease and Deputy Griggs was then able to perform a P.I.T. maneuver, which ended the pursuit.

Consiglio then exited her vehicle, holding a small child in her arms as a shield, while she backed away from deputies and disobeyed their commands to put the child down. Deputy Fretts then rushed forward and rescued the child from Consiglio’s grasp. Consiglio continued to resist arrest and ultimately Deputy Griggs and Deputy Stringer were able to handcuff her. During the melee, two large dogs also escaped from the vehicle.

The Defendant was placed under arrest for the 10 criminal offenses she committed that night and for 7 additional offenses based on outstanding felony warrants.

During the pursuit, the child and dogs were unrestrained in the vehicle. Thankfully, they were unharmed by Consiglio’s decision to flee. The child was released to her family and Animal Control took custody of the dogs.
