Fourth Person Arrested On Drug Charges Stemming From Search Warrant
April 28, 2010
A Century man was arrested Tuesday on narcotics charges, the fourth person arrested in connection with a search warrant executed earlier this month.
Travis Lavar Scott is facing two felony counts of marijuana possession and is being held without bond in the Escambia County Jail.
Members of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narotics Unit executed the search warrant at Scott’s residence at 6860 Gilford Lane in Century on April 9 and arrested Orlando Dantaus Dixon, 22, of Robert Road, Century; Antwon Montrex Smith, 26, of Salters Like Road, Century; and Brandon Dewayne Jackson, 24, of Jefferson Avenue, Century, on variety of charges.
Paperwork in the house indicated that Scott resided at the home, according to an ECSO report.
According to the the Sheriff’s Office report, deputies heard several individuals running toward the rear of the residence. That is where they found Jackson standing in the bathroom near the toilet. Officers located plastic baggies containing marijuana floating in the tank water.
On Smith’s person, officers located under 20 grams of marijuana and $101 in cash, and on Dixon’s person, they located over 20 grams of marijuana, packed in two separate bags, according to the report.
During the search of the residence, deputies located a marijuana and crack cocaine on an end table, two plastic bags of marijuana in drawer by stove, four plastic bags of crack cocaine in a drawer by the sink, a set of digital scales with marijuana residue on a kitchen counter, a loaded Beretta .40 caliber handgun in a drawer by the kitchen sink and “miscellaneous paperwork”.
Jackson was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and destruction of evidence. Jackson had given deputies another name, according to the Sheriff’s Office, at the time of his arrest. When a relative of that person heard that the person Jackson named had been arrested, they called the jail to alert deputies about the incorrect name. About the same time, a fingerprint record returned positively identifying Jackson. Jackson was charged with obstruction of justice and a public order crime of using a false identification. He remains in the Escambia County Jail on $10,000 bond.
Smith was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession and was released from jail on $1,000 bond.
Dixon was charged with possession of marijuana over 20 grams. He is being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

Drugs are a big part of the problem with world, Angie? Positive reinforcement, AtmoreBoy? Do you people really thing that this idiotic war on drugs is the answer to anything. The war on drugs has failed miserably. Legalize marijuana, tax , control and regulate it and you have eliminated one problem while generating much need income. Prohibition does not work…….have you people figured this out yet? If I want to buy or grow Marijuana, it’s none of your business. I am a successful, hard working, middle aged male and I smoke marijuana. When is this insanity going to stop?
I agree with Sylvia. Mr. Morgan has his hands full with the drug issue in Century. I hear that as soon as they are arrested, the are released within 24 hours and back in Century doing the same thing. I think it is a shame that people who may have made a mistake in their young life can’t get a driver’s license EVER, but those who sell drugs to kids or anyone, especially parents who then don’t take care of their children, get out and repeat the drug scene over and over. It’s the same with child molesters, for the most part, they are not able to be prosecuted, either, and make it stick. So, Mr. Morgan, please see what you can do to research the law and make it so the drug dealers/manufacturers never get out of jail.
I assure they had some attempts at positive reinforcement when they were younger. I was one of the people trying. I’m still praying for you, guys; it’s not too late to turn your life around.
Excellent job on yet another drug arrest, drugs are a big part of the problem with today’s world and crime…
JW…they are fixn’ to get some positive reinforcement …real soon…how many crooks are left in Century…my goodness…they are arrested everyday up there..how many more can be there…druggies ?…head em up…move em’ out…their mail will be forwarded by our USPS
Would it be possible for people, not race specific, to get a real job and try not to corrupt the community, with easy money laziness such as this.
These gentlemen definitely needed some positive reinforcement when they were younger.
The best way to avoid police intrusion on private property is to avoid the whole drug possession scene.
Nice job LEOs.
Perhaps when these folks finally disentangle themselves from the judicial process they can live better, calmer and less anti-productive lives.
I think our sherrif is sticking to his guns, he is trying to clean up this drug problem in North Escambia. Thank you Mr. Morgan and all your deputies for doing a good job..
