Sheriff’s Office Investigating Murder And Inmate Death
March 22, 2010
In two unrelated cases, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a murder and an inmate death.
Augusta Avenue ShootingEscambia County deputies responded to an armed disturbance at about 8:30 Sunday night on Augusta Avenue, just off Gulf Beach Highway.
Donald Turner, 24, was pronounced dead after being found shot inside a residence, according to Sgt. Ted Roy, ECSO spokesperson.
“Investigators are following up on several leads. No one has been arrested at this time,” Roy said.
Inmate Death
Inmate James T. Stallworth, 48, of Pensacola was pronounced dead at about 1:40 Monday morning.
Stallworth was brought to the jail on March 17 by a bondsman on a failure to appear warrant, Roy said. Stallworth was housed at the Central Booking and Detention facility.
“Stallworth suffered from prior medical problems. The medical examiners office now has the case to determine a cause of death,” Roy said. “Foul play is not suspected.”

You need to check on your information source as you’re not entirely correct, also I am all for the truth as it literally “will set you free”. NO sheriff can please all of us and honesty and openness in government is all that we really should ask.
Deputies are transfered for many reasons so that shouldn’t be your determination if Sheriff Morgan is good or bad.
Oh by the way Butterfly, ” Morgan’s Crew” are the same deputies Ronnie Mac had under his Administration. Morgan just promoted them to the next higher rank.
I did not say I loved Ronnie Mac………..but folks like you get offended when they hear the TRUTH! We will wait and see how long Morgan can keep his promise before he moves any of the three new deputies from Molino. My guess is some will be gone before Christmas. I hope I am wrong.
Thank you Butterfly!
Shame on you….. Morgan and his “crew” are the breath of fresh air we needed in this county!
The working class people were tired of Ronnie Mac’s bull hocky and good ole boy tactics. He’d say one thing in private and quite another in public.
Thank God for the voters who finally got him out!
If Ronnie Mac was still in office, Morgan’s crew would be calling it another murder.
