March 11, 2010

A Century man that was the focus of a January manhunt is now behind bars on charges that he failed to appear in court of multiple drug related charges.

According to Escambia County Circuit Court records, Brown’s bond was revoked after he did not appear in court on charges of marijuana possession, cocaine possession and other drug offenses.

Brown was the subject of a manhunt in Century on January 4.  Escambia County Deputy David Preston responded to an unrelated 911 call in the 9000 block of Old Flomaton Road in Century about 12:20 that afternoon. Shortly after he arrived, Preston saw a man that he believed to be Brown run from the back of the residence.

Deputies set up a perimeter around the area and tracking dogs from the Century Correctional Institution were called to assist in the search. The K-9 unit was able to follow a scent from the back of the residence, but they were unable to location Brown.

Brown has allegedly ran from deputies before. On October 26 of last year, deputies spotted him in the 700 block of West Highway 4 and gave chase on foot. Deputies located Brown and arrested him on Hadley Lane for failure to appear in a narcotics case.
