Walnut Hill Woman, Convicted Felon Arrested With Gun, Brass Knuckles
April 22, 2010
A convicted felon from Walnut Hill was arrested in Cantonment after a deputy found her with a gun and set of brass knuckles.
Tammy Lou Price, 47, of Pine Forest Road, Walnut Hill, was charged with two counts of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a concealed firearm and possession of narcotics paraphernalia.
During the early morning hours of April 18, Escambia County Deputy John Rose spotted a small Mazda pickup truck in the parking lot of the Champion Golf Course, which was closed at the time.
When Deputy Rose asked for Price’s identification, she admitted that she had a firearm in her purse and that she was a convicted felon. A records check revealed that she was convicted on a felony burglary charged in 2003. A search revealed that her purse also contained brass knuckles.
When her property underwent a thorough search at the jail, detention deputies located two wooden pipes that smelled of marijuana inside of a coin purse, according to the arrest report.
Price was released from jail on $23,500 bond. She is due to appear in court May 7.

Praying for Tammy and her family. God heals!!! He heals the sick such as Tammy, his grace and mercy are awesome. Give it all to God!!!
dagwood your an idiot, this was a felon with a gun and knuckles!!!!!!
This officer did good!
if Northescambia would put pics up of anyone on the fl wanted list online, more felons could be caught, especially the ones from the atmore, walnut hill, century, jay areas…SOMEBODY will know something. I think it’s a shame for people to be wanted and they are still out there on outstanding warrants and the only way they are ever caught is if they get stopped…and the bad thing is if it’s a woman and she remarries, they don’t catch her due to the name change.
It’s a shame to see that she didn’t learn anything from her ‘03 conviction. If she would just turn to Jesus, he would forgive her, help her to quit the drugs and turn her life around. I pray she does.
Dagwood…….would you call the sheriffs office if somebody was sitting in your front yard at 3 am in their vehicle minding their own business. Serioulsy, I wish everybody that was crtical of the Sheriffs Dept would be on a list and if they ever needed any help the Sheriffs Office would not be required to respond.! (oh yeah and they had a pistol in their vehicle that is illegal for them to carry)
Great to see our ECSD doing what they do best…
The police have the right to ask me for ID no matter where I am. Whether it be in a parking lot or in my front yard at home. If the policeman asks for it, I produce it with no questions asked. That is what I am teaching my children also. So if you are sitting at a closed business you might want to make sure you don’t have the items she had in her possession. Way to go deputy Rose for investigating a suspicious vehicle and not just driving on by. I am sure the person that the brass knuckles were meant for appreciates your efforts.
Trash? Scum? You people are harshly judgemental. You might be singing a different tune when some armed and uniformed bully plants his knee in the back of your daughters or wifes head. For what? Parking in a closed parking lot? It might be different if she had been holding up a 7-11 or shooting at passersby. But the story reads like she was minding her own business. Something more people should practice.
good job ECSD!

Knuckles are illegal out on the street. They are considered gangbangers.
They ARE, however, legal in your home.
im just wondering why someone, who resides in wallnut hill, would be parked in cantonment in the early morning hours….nonetheless, in regards to the brass knuckles…..i didnt know, until my son was arrested (several years ago), that it was a chargable offense to be in “concealed” possession of that particular item…that is why she recieved a “concealed weapons” charge….ive never heard of someone having a permit for owning them, so..i would guess that it is illegal to even own them then…maybe someone else knows the answer…
Another piece of trash picked up off our streets.
Good job officer Rose, now please keep working on the other
scum.
Well, I guess at least she did admit to being a convicted felon and to having a firearm in her purse…Guess she didn’t admit to the other stuff found though…lol
Another one bites the dust.
