Suspect In Bratt Manhunt Still On The Loose
March 3, 2009
A manhunt in Bratt for a man wanted by Alabama authorities was called off Tuesday morning.
Authorities were searching for Buddy Lee Roberson, 40, after he fled from drug task force agents in Canoe, Ala.
Authorities believe the Roberson was picked up by someone in a pickup truck. They were believed to have headed back toward Atmore.
Atmore Police believed they had located the truck in the Briar Lake Subdivision, but they were unable to locate Roberson. The subdivision is located on Medical Park Drive in Atmore, just a few hundred feet north of the Florida/Alabama state line.
The Atmore Police Department called for the assistance of the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Department and a K-9 unit from the Century Correctional Institute just before 11 Tuesday morning in the area bordered by North Highway 99, Highway 168, Pine Barren Road and the Alabama state line.
The manhunt started about an hour earlier in the Canoe, Ala., area when Alabama authorities attempted to serve a warrant for a narcotics charge. Roberson fled, with the manhunt beginning in the South Canoe Road area south of Arthur Hall Road in Alabama. South Canoe Road become Pine Barren Road when it crosses into Florida. When the manhunt shift to the south, Florida authorities became involved.
Roberson was described as being a white male with long dirty blond hair.

Thanks NE for the info. If possible, attach photo of suspect . This will help in identification. P.S. If our Sherriff needs any more ” DRUG SUSPECTS”, most will gladly supply him a list of questionable people or activities in our communitity.
Yeah maybe we were alerted but they could’ve gave us a little bit more info than what they did. So yeah. Maybe a little bit more information would’ve been good for some of us cuz my 5th period teacher didn’t even know what was going on.
Ummm. Megan. We as alerted that is why we had to stay in class & 2nd lunch was cut short so we could be locked in our classroom during 5th period.So yes we was alerted during 4th period.
So I would just like to say that the students and some of the faculty at Northview were not alerted of this. We had no clue what was happening because no one would tell us. It’s rediculous.
