Roger L. Feagin was wanted in connection with twice violating a domestic violence restraining order at a residence in the 400 block of Bonwell Street off Jefferson Avenue. The search for him began just before 9:00 Tuesday night.

The sheriff’s helicopter was called to the area to search for the Feagin in the area of Jefferson Avenue, Front Street and  Pond Street. Authorities knew he was on a bicycle with no shoes; he had left his shoes behind in the backyard of the home were he allegedly violated the restraining order. The helicopter was called off the search about 9:45.

Feagin was located before midnight and arrested. He was transported to the Escambia County Jail where he was charged with two counts of violation of an domestic violence injunction. He was being held without bond.
