Drug bust goes bad; innocent woman killed

PINELLAS PARK -- A South Carolina mother was killed and four others were hospitalized in a police drug bust that went bad.

Officers with the Pinellas Park Police vice squad completed an undercover drug bust about 9 p.m. in a parking lot when the two male suspects involved in the drug buy sped away from a police maneuver attempting to block them in, said Capt. Sanfield Forseth. Police were unable to stop the car, a Chevrolet Monte Carlo, but did not chase it, Forseth said.

The Monte Carlo sped south on U.S. 19 and slammed into a Ford Taurus that was traveling on 70th Avenue North.

The driver of the Taurus, Nachenga E. Robinson, 32, of Florence, S.C., was killed. Her three children - Obadiah Y. Robinson, 11, I'on Robinson, 8, and Eric J. Robinson, 13, - and passenger Caroline Johnson, 51, were taken to area hospitals. Their conditions were not immediately available.
