‘Squirrel Boy’ Busted After Selling Pot To Informant
April 21, 2010
A Century man known as “Squirrel Boy” was arrested after selling drugs to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office confidential informant.
Eric Quincy Allen, 41, was charged with two counts of marijuana possession with intent to sell after allegedly selling marijuana to the informant outside of a Salter’s Lake Road residence in Century.
According to the sheriff’s office arrest report, the informant told deputies that “Squirrel Boy” sits outside the residence and sells marijuana. Using their computer systems, the sheriff’s office was able to determine that Allen is sometimes known as “Squirrel Boy”. Allen was positively identified by the informant when shown his photograph.
Wearing a listening and recording device, the confidential informant traveled to Allen’s residence on Salter’s Lake Road. The informant made contact with Allen who was sitting outside the residence and purchased marijuana with funds belonging to the sheriff’s office, the report states. After the drug buy, a warrant was prepared for Allen’s arrest.
Allen was arrested and booked into the Escambia County Jail. He was later released on $10,000 bond. He is due to appear in court on May 7.

The solution to this idiotic “war on marijuana” is jury nullification. Always excercise you rright to trial, “squirrel boy”, and we will find you not guilty every time. If these moronic marijuana charges are dismissed with a not guilty verdict time after time, the authorities will realize that we have taken our rights back. Unjust laws are wrong. Jury nullifications is the only way to change these unjust laws. NOT GUILTY SQUIRREL BOY!
Hey Blondie-
chillax, OK?
Most ConfInfs are criminals trying to get out of a hole by putting someone else into it.
Weed shouldn’t be illegal because, after all, “God made weed, man made liquor—who do you trust?”
I know it is a crime to sell drugs,but why do we bash them as if they make people use drugs. If we lock up all the abusers, then they would have no one to sell to. They choose to use drugs, the dealers aren’t killing them. They are killing themselves. How do you know he didn’t sell to your kids. We don’t know all our kids do and if mine gets their grown behinds out there and wants to use drugs; it’s their own fault.
I also wish that the government would legalize marijuana, since it is obvious that something that grows anywhere will not be eradicated, and use all the money that is saved when people are no longer being incarcerated for possession and all the manhours that are saved in investigating and busting these people to combat the problems with coke, crack, meth, heroin, etc. If they would do this, it would make a HUGE difference in the REAL drug problem that we have.
I would much rather be around someone who has smoked a little pot than someone who just snorted a line or two or even just had a few drinks. Someone on pot is calm, mellow, cheerful, etc. You never know how some
one will react who is drinking or doing other drugs. Ask anyone who works with people, such as LEOs or medical professionals and they will tell you the same.
We would be so much better served to stop combating a natural substance that does no harm and start fighting all these harsh chemicals that are so popular and are destroying our children and our country.
Eric just learn from this.Be strong and don’t givve up. This is just a test. People are going to say things. That is a part of life. But let people talk. Very one has to give in account for there own life. I have been where you are now. Be get with some real people and watch your surroundings.
We all have made mistake but we learn from them. God is a forgiven God. And we shouldn’t be judging others or we will be judged. Be strong.
Maybe i wanted to get my point across. Eric just be strong and know who is for you. And watch who you come in contact with. You have two more cI”s around you so be carefull. Be strong and i encourage you today. I have been where you are. So get that strong woman in your life.
Insurance adjuster, haha. good point. CAPS are very hard to read.
DENISE, shouting? On the computer? Really? Your not going to get a point across very clearly if NO ONE CAN READ WHAT YOUR TYPING.
Keep in mind an informant can be someone who has got caught themself so they do this to get their own self out of trouble.
Maybe he should sell crack or meth how often do you hear of them selling to undercover.
Really why cant somthing be done about the crack and meth problem?? who is geting paid on the side for this?
To those who say or think that nice people don’t sell dugs.
Your local grocer, convenient store clerk, liquor store clerks, etc. sell drugs EVERY DAY! Many of you sit here and judge a man while puffing on your cigarettes, sipping your beer and/or popping those little happy pills the pharmacist gave you. Those are drugs too! And even though they are legal drugs, they are still very dangerous drugs.
Marijuana is far less harmful than any of the above mentioned drugs, yet due to pharmaceutical, alcohol and tobacco industry lobbying, marijuana remains illegal in all but 14 states. But rest assured happy tokers, there are 14 other states with pending legislation or ballot measures on tap to legalize medical marijuana. So it is just a matter of time before it is legal everywhere. Matter of fact I would be willing to bet donuts to dollars that it will be legal before they finish the HWY 29 project. LOL!
“Just learn from this and keep going. Just know who you are hanging around with. Now is the time for you to change your environment and some of the people you hang with.”
In other words, don’t sell pot to cops anymore.
Your all saying to pray for him. Now I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure I don’t remember Jesus being a pot dealer…nice or otherwise. I hope our justice system does its job. Their trying to crack down on all the dealers, they need to back up the talk. Putting them in jail and letting them right back out with a slap on the wrist and a fine isn’t doing anything. They just go HOME and sell less drugs for more money to make up for what they had to pay to get out of jail.
CHU PROUD
good for you, you said a mouth full
ITS GOOD AINT NO NEEDS WE GONE GET YHU HOME SOON
You know he may not be selling to your kids. How you know that your kids are not selling it on there own. W e don’t know what kids will do these days. We can raise our kids the best way we can but we don’t know what they will do. So make sure your kids are doing right and not jugde other people kids. One mistake and the whole world is against you. Where are our brothers keeper. When something like this happens to lift him up and not tear him down. We are not to put the next one down. This is the time that the real people should come forth and encourage him. Even through he made a mistake and help him not to make the same mistake again. Eric please learn trom this and keep going. You have more going for you or more people for you then against you. Be encourage my brother…
Selling any type of drug is illegal in the State of Florida, regardless of how “nice” this man may be. I am sure he was intelligent enough to have figured that out for himself and just took his chances anyway. I am sorry that he took that chance but not sorry he was arrested. We will never win the war on drugs if people are allowed to sit in front of their homes or hang on street corners selling drugs to anyone who has the money and our neighbors and friends “simply look the other way”.
Above everything else, we have to think of the future of OUR kids.
Drugs are the main reason for gang wars and OUR kids “dying by the numbers” in America today. Black, white, Hispanic, Oriental, they are OUR kids..and their future is in our hands!! Please people, stop, think, and then DO THE RIGHT THING!!
Can we arrest people who are actually criminals committing violent offenses or that are actual threats to the community instead of spending thousands of dollars on departmental operations, informant, and court costs to arrest a pot dealer in the middle of nowhere? I mean, it costs money to conduct these undercover operations, yet no some seems to care that their tax dollars are being used on such frivolous criminals.
REGARDING:
“I am very happy he was caught and is not selling weed or crack to my kids!”
I’m happy for you too, I just wish they weren’t trying to buy it.
David thinking sellers require buyers
Thank you ms common sense. You said it right. We shouldn’t be so quick to judge. And that is what i say. Watch who called themselves friends. We just need to pray…
To: Denise and Barbie,
I do not know this man, I am sure he is a very nice man, otherwise, no one would buy the marijuana from him, I am sure! On the other hand, he may have a job, pay taxes and be an upstanding pillar of the community, but what he was doing was ILLEGAL! Plain and simple! No matter how he was caught, he broke the law and now must face the consequences of his actions.
I will also say a prayer for him, that once he gets finished with his jail term (may justice be served well), he will turn his life around and be legal and moral in all of his future endeavors!
Have a great day all!
I went to school with Eric and as others have stated, he IS a really nice guy. He is now accused of selling some pot to a “confidential informant”. If he did this, then he is guilty and he knows that it is wrong.
You know, I’m sure this will be an unpopular sentiment, but I have no use whatsoever for a “confidential informant” AKA narc, rat, fink, etc. These people pretend to be friends with the people they get arrested and it’s not always the truth that they tell. They are liars and hypocrites, smoking dope with the people they turn on, befriending their children, etc. How can you trust their testimonies when their entire relationship with the accused is lies? How can you believe it in court when you can’t believe it in “real life”? To me, they are just as bad as the people they have arrested.
I was once arrested based on a CI’s accusation that was later proven to be a flat out lie. Their CI was mad because I wouldn’t go out with him and so he told the police that I was selling drugs. I have NEVER sold drugs! Yeah, I smoked some pot in my time, but I didn’t move on to other harder drugs and I quit that a long time ago. I can’t afford it and I can’t afford to be arrested and sent to jail. This CI told the police that I was selling pot and had sold it to him several times. The police “busted in” my front door in the middle of the night, terrorized my kids and took me to jail. It was printed up in the TriCity Ledger, making me out to be a HUGE drug dealer. None of this was true, but the damage was done. When it came to trial, all charges were dismissed because there was no evidence whatsoever that I had ever been involved in any such thing and the CI was proven to be dishonest and to “have it out” for me. But do you think the TriCity Ledger ever printed that? Of course not!! Not that it would have made much of a difference since they had already spread the word everywhere that I was a dealer and no one would have cared about the exoneration. The really sad thing about it is that there was never an apology for all the money it cost me, the trauma that my children and I were subjected to, NOTHING. And guess what? Does anybody remember the rash of church burnings back in the ’90’s? Well, guess what CI is now sitting in prison for that? Yep, the same one who lied on me. How many others did he lie about? How many were sent to prison because they couldn’t prove the truth?
If Eric is guilty, then he deserves his punishment. However, don’t be so quick to judge people based on initial reports. More often than not, they are NOT the truth.
** Comments must get back on topic within the posted rules **
Thank you Blondie. You are my friend. You know what i am talking about. I am with you we will just pray for him. If you pray and i pray and we let others know to pray. It will make a world of a difference. And stop putting him down. God bless you…You go girl…..

All i can say is Eric don’t worry about the nay-sayers. People have there right to state there opinion. But don’t let this get you down. Hold your head up. You are not the only people who have made a mistake We all have. Just learn from this and keep going. Just know who you are hanging around with. Now is the time for you to change your environment and some of the people you hang with. God does everything for a reason. Yes the bible speaks of know the person by there fruits. And no i am not taking up for him. But we are so quick to judge a person. It goes back to the sermon on sunday. We can do one bad thing and we are the worst person in the world. But never think about the good a person does. BUt Eric if God be for you he is more then the whole world against you. You are in my prayers. I will not judge you but pray for you. Just learn from this and don;t keep making the same mistake. Hookup with the right people. God is going to put postive people in your life. And shut the mouth of the lions. SO be strong and of good courage.GOD sits high and he looks low. God looks at the heart but me looks at the outer. Just know who you are.They will say whatever. But hookup the the Godly people and keep moving on. This will not stop what God has planned for you. And that is life and not death. So look unto the hills from which cometh your help because your help comes from God not man. Be encourage..And my prayers are with you. And God bless you……
Looks like “squirrel boy” is nuts !
Dr. Martin L. King said a day will come when “we will judge a person by the quality of their character and not by the color of their skin”. Well that day is here!
I don’t want to drive on the same road with someone who is intoxicated on ANYTHING! Good-guys don’t sell drugs!
I am here to tell you “SquIrrel Boy” will be judged and the Bible you try to quote to help you validate & prove your opinion also says “ye shall know a tree by it’s fruit”. I am very happy he was caught and is not selling weed or crack to my kids!
Insurance ajuster don’t you have work to do. Most not. Just know my business. Getting my point across. If you know what CAPS are….
DENISE — would it be possible to not type in ALL CAPS? It’s hard to read.
WELL KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR. DO YOUR NEIGHBOR KNOW YOU. JUST LIKE I SAID BEFORE. JUST MAKE SURE YOUR LIFE IS CLEAN AND YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR CLOSET. WE ALL HAVE LITTLE SECRETS. SO WHAT JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHO IS FRIENDS ARE.LIKE I SAID BEFORE A PERON MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND WE HOLD THE WORLD AGAINST THEM. BUT IT GOES BACK TO SAY. YES HE SOLD DRUGS WHICH IS NOT RIGHT. AND YES HE GOT CAUGHT. BUT CAN YOU SAY THE GOOD THINGS HE HAS DONE. BUT JUST KNOW THERE IS A GOD THAT WILL FORGIVE WHEN WE WANT FORGIVE. GOD IS THE JUDGE OF ALL THINGS. AND MAYBE THIS IS FOR HIS GOOD. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IS REALLY GOING TO GO ON DOWN THE ROAD. AND GOD WAS LETTING HIM GET OUT FOR IT IS TOO LATE. SO EVERYTING IS DONE FOR A REASON. SO DON’T JUDGE HIM. THIS MAYBE THE SAME PERSON THAT WILL HAVE TO HELP YOU.WE NEVER KNOW. OR TO GIVE YOU A JOB OR A HELPING HAND. SO DON’T JUDGE HIM PRAY FOR HIM. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD NOW. INSTEAD OF PRAYING WE ARE RUNNING OUR MOUTHS. AND DOWNING PEOPLE. WHEN YOU JUDGE A PERSON YOU WILL BE JUDGED. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SOMEONE YOU WILL BE TALKED ABOUT. SO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN LIFE AND MAKE SURE EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE IS IN ORDER. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW MAY HOLD. AND EVEN THE NEXT MINUTE. JUST PRAY…….
Everytime a drug dealer gets busted in Century area, all you can hear is. Poor man, just trying to make a living, never bothers no one, good man, and on and on and on. It make me sick you drug sympathizers in Century to read your comments. ESO no matter what you have to do to get these guys GOOD JOB. He’s been doing this for a long time, making me wonder when would he ever get caught. Maybe he’ll roll over and give up the next higher up. Oh, and thanks Rat Face for your help too !
WELL MR DUNNO IT. AGAIN JUDGE OR YOU WILL BE JUDGED. HOW DO YOU KNOW HE DON’T HAVE A JOB. MAYBE HE IS PAYING TAXES TOO. SO LET THEM US HIS TAXES TO PAY FOR IT. AND MAY SURE YOU ARE LIVING A CLEAN FREE LIKE. DO YOU HAVE A JOB. YOU ARE SPENDING ALOT OF TIME WORRYING ABOUT OTHERS. THEY OLD SAYING IS WHEN YOU ARE BUSY IN SOMEONE ESLE BUSINESS YOU ARE LEAVING SOMETHIND LACKING IN YOURS. SO WHAT. HE JUST HAS TO KNOW WHO IS FRIENDS ARE. DON’T DUG A HOLE FOR HIM YOU MAYBE THE ONE PUT IN THE HOLE. YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE. DO YOU HAVE KIDS .JUST HOPE THAT ARE NOT DOING THIS OR WILL NOT. YOU NEVER KNOW. A PERSON CAN MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND WE JUDGE THEM. BUT FORGET ALL OF THE GOOD A PERSON DO. BUT LIKE SUNDAY MESSAGE YOU SAW THE BAD IN A PERSON BUT GOD SEES THE GOOD. HE IS A GOOD PERSON. BUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU JUST JUDGE. MAKE ONE MISTAKE AND EVERYONE THINK YOU ARE A BAD PERSON. GET A LIFE…………..
OOPS
yep i’m sure your right honey, this guy has a lot going for him.
Hope it works for him in jail!
You must have real low expectations of what a human being should
do with their lives!
JUDGE AND YOU WILL NOT BE JUDGED. SO WHAT HE WAS AT HOME. THEY CAME TO HIS HOUSE. IT IS A DIFFERENTS IF HE WAS OUT ON THE STREETS. HE CAN HAVE WHATEVER HE WANTS AT HIS HOUSE. AT LEST IT WAS MARIJUANA AND NOT PILLS OR CRACK COCAINE. ON THINK I KNOW HE HAS SOMEONE THAT WILL BE PRAYING WITH HIM THROUGH ALL OF THIS. HE JUST HAS TO LOOK AT HIS SURROUNDINGS AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE HE HANGS AROUND WITH. AND WATCH EVERYONE HE TALKS TO. EVERYONE THAT SAY THEY ARE FOR YOU ARE NOT FOR YOU. PEOPLE ARE JUST JEALOUS OF HIM. HE HAS THINGS GOING FOR HIMSELF. AND THEY DON’T LIKE IT. BUT THIS TO SHALL PASS. SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON’T GET CATCH DOING. WE ALL HAVE SINNED. AND NO ONE IS PERFERT. SO WE ALL MAKE FOOLISH MISTAKES. JUST LEARN FROM THEM. ERIC LET THIS BE A LESSON TO LEARN. BELIEVE ME YOU HAVE MORE FOR YOU THEN AGAINST YOU. KEEP LOOKING UP DON’T LET THIS GET YOU DOWN. THE BIBLE SAYS GET THE BEAM OUT OF YOUR EYE BEFORE YOU CAN GET IT OUT OF SOMEONE ELSES. SO WHAT HE IS JUST ONE THAT GOT CATCH.SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT IS SO RIGHT. MAY SURE YOU LIFE IS UP TO PART BEFORE YOU LOOK AT SOMEONE ELSE. IT IS A SAYING SWEEP AROUND YOUR OWN FRONT DOOR BEFORE YOU TRY TO SWEEP AROUND MINES. SO DON’T JUDGE HIM PRAY FOR HIM. NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL NEED PRAY. AND MAKE SURE YOUR LIFE IS CLEAN?????????????????????????
This super nice guy sold an illegal substance to ppl.,other wise known as
DRUGS
I lived next door to a super nice guy once that did the same thing, and
he also if you knew, most didn’t, that he also had cocaine.
The only reason I knew was because his wife didn’t like it, and told
me. I was shocked, and I said but Pat is so nice. She said he has
to be nice, if he were a prick to ppl they would call the cops.
THINK ABOUT THAT
I don’t do drugs, but I personnally feel it is anybodies right to stick
anything they want in any orifice they have, BUT we have to have
laws because ppl are such idiots, and they go out and do stupid stuff
and commit crimes because of these types of things, so we have
to spend tax payer money to write laws and police them because their
so stupid.
OTHERWISE THEY COULD STICK ANYTHING ANYWHERE, AND
IF THEY DIDN’T HURT OTHERS, WE WOULDN’T HAVE TO.\
CARTER PUT MARYJANE ON THE DANGEROUS DRUG LIST, SO
THATS THAT.
THIS NICE GUY WAS SELLING DANGEROUS DRUGS! HE BROKE
THE LAW TO MAKE MONEY.
THIS NICE GUY SHOULD HAVE GOT OFF HIS BUT AND WORKED
LIKE EVERYOTHER GOOD CITIZEN. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
NOW WE HAVE TO PAY TO GIVE HIM A TRIAL AND HOUSE HIM.
HE IS JUST ANOTHER SCUM BAG SELLING DRUGS TO WHO KNOWS
HOW MANY KIDS, AND MANY OF THOSE PPL AND KIDS WILL MOVE
ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER DRUGS AND DO WHAT WITH THEIR
LIVES AND HOW MANY PPL WILL THEY HURT!!!!!
I HOPE HE ROTS!
“Squirrel Boy”, huh? Sits on his porch selling weed, eh?
ooooooo— real bad character.
What’s the CI’s nickname?
“Rat Face Punkboy” or “I Got 24 Months Off My Sentence For This”?
this is bad i know but believe it or not eric is a super nice guy! i wish he could find something else to do with his life other than this! i really wish him the best!
