Man Charged With DUI After Driving Into Two Houses
November 20, 2010
A Cantonment man was jailed for DUI early Saturday morning after driving into two houses and parked vehicle.
Aaron Lee Deyton, 21, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and careless driving after the 1:09 a.m. wreck on Muscogee Road. Deyton was released from the Escambia County Jail on $2,000 bond.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Deyton was westbound on Muscogee Road when he left the roadway and struck a culvert west of Rittenberry Road. He then crossed over both lanes of Muscogee Road and left the roadway a second time. His 2004 Ford pickup then struck another culvert and traveled into a yard at 1119 Muscogee Road where it struck a fence, small tree, a house and parked SUV. He continued through another fence in the yard at 1121 Muscogee Road before striking that house and coming to a final rest.
Deyton was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injuries. He was arrest about one hour later upon being discharged.

Aaron, just learn from this. You may not be so lucky next time. Your a good person & all the people that know you, knows the type of person you are. All of us make mistakes at some point and time and remember, this is a slap on the hand from God, so straighten up big guy. We love you and don’t want anything bad to happen to you. Snappa C, Kyletta and Sheroni wish you the best. Love ya!
Aaron…What the hell where you thinking?? Way to go!
REGARDING:
” David Huie Green..I was not trying to be “cute”..I was stating a fact,.”
Your fact was that “God made marijuana. Man made alcohol.”, followed by the implication that if God made it, It had to be good. I’m not questioning your substitution of marijuana for alcohol, just pointing out that not everything The Lord makes is good for us.
Didactic David
He made his life much harder. It’s a real pity. I hope he quits drinking.
@ David Huie Green..I was not trying to be “cute”..I was stating a fact…you have “unfond memories” of Malria..I have :unfond memories” of being a “drunk driver”. Yes God made a lot of things that are not “Pretty”! I can & did quit drinking..I can not stop a rattlesnake from biting but I do know what to do to protect myself. I do have to worry about drunk drivers..most likely this guy doesnt remember most of the accident. I know I dont remember mine. No one around tried to stop me from getting behind the wheel..MY DECISION! I am not standing up for DDs just a perspect from the eyes of one! I really hope this guy gets help w/his drinking before it gets worse. For him all i have to say is good luck & start saving $$$!!!
I’ve been drunk plenty of times. I wasn’t sick at the time. But, I sure was the next day….
Just because he got popped for DUI, doesn’t mean he is an alcoholic. Then, he wwould have a disease!
not every drunk is sick, sometimes they’re just drunk
If you lock this person up you are just locking up the disease.. Alcohol problems have to be dealt with counceling. There might be some under lying problem that is making him drink to such extremes and those problems need to be dealt with instead of just locking the drunk up. Let him seek alcohol and drug counceling first then lock him up.

TAKE AWAY IS LICENSES TO DRIVE, LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!!!!! WE DON’T NEED CRAZIES LIKE THIS ON THE ROADWAYS AND ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE!!!!
Carrie, please take away your caps lock key!

“God made marijuana..Man made alcohol..who do you trust??? ”
Cute saying but meanineless, He also made arsenic, rattlesnakes, malaria germs, molten lava, . . . .
David with unfond memories of malaria
God made marijuana..Man made alcohol..who do you trust??? Yes the dude has had a wake up call…I was in my 30s & 40s when I got my DUIs..He will have lotz of fines & will have to pay for damages.to the houses..I was lucky I didnt hurt any1 else but me & my family ..I havent drank or even gotten behind a wheel of a car since 2005! wonder what his BAL was??? As for the $2000 bond..my was set @ that..if he had to wait to see the judge it probably would have been raised..Mine was raised to $10,000…
This non-injury accident is an opportunity for this young man to wake up and see the danger of intoxication with his own eyes.
Come on, kid.
This time you tore up property.
Next time. . . well, hopefully the designated driver will deliver him safely, he having learned through experience that drinking and cars are a potentially lethal combo.
I wonder how many of these commentators are guilty of drinking and driving themselves? Wouldn’t it be nice if all cars had breathalyzers in them.
In addition to a cash bond, everyone arrested for DUI should be required by law to wear an alcohol monitoring device (at their own expense) as a condition of their release on bail. I am not an advocate of more government but the existing DUI laws need to be revised because they sure aren’t working. Anyone who kills while DUI in FL should be charged with murder like in AL.
“CONCERNED CITIZEN”
He is being charged with DUI, not guilty of it yet. Innocent until proven guilty. I do hope justice will be served by this young man and he gets a chance to change things around. Even the greatest of citizens fall into a “slump” every now and then.
David, I always enjoy reading your posts and viewing the story from your eyes.
And, chumuckla proud, really? The bars and such are not to blame. People make their own decisions. I too have driven after I left a bar and after my friends tried to stop me. Bottom line, I am an adult and I made my mind up that I was fine and that is one thing I regret! I thank the lord for helping me get home. I will never do that again. People need to live with thrir decisions that THEY made!

“Am I the only one that read the part where he was remained in the Escambia County Jail on $2000 bond?”
Yep, you are. The rest read:
“Deyton was released from the Escambia County Jail on $2,000 bond”
and to us released means released.

I think a law should be passed that every bar should have a mandatory Breathalizer test for those who imbibed and are about to leave their place of business with the intention of operating a motor vehicle. If they don’t pass the test, they have an option of calling someone to drive them home, seek out a designated driver, or to pay for cab fare. If they object, then the police should be called to prevent them from driving. If a person is drinking at another person’s home and is intending on driving, then the host should give the person in question the option of being driven home by a sober driver or to “sleep it off ” or “sober up” at their residence. Calling the police would be the last option (if the person refused the first two options). Responsible hosts do not let their guests drive drunk. Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. People who own bars should not allow drunks to drive. The holiday season is upon us once again. Please act responsibly!
Am I the only one that read the part where he was remained in the Escambia County Jail on $2000 bond? As of this article, he IS still in jail. maybe his parently don’t want to pay his way out or for what ever reason he don’t have the bond. He was discharged from the hospital and arrested.
But I agree – he shouldn’t be allowed to get out if he is going to be this stupid.
Judy , I like your idea and David the tour of the morgue should come after he is sober and has spent a few nights in jail , not while he is drunk. That’s the problem … The courts need to look at tha past not just the present that’s why we have so many ppl getting killed by drunk drivers… They don’t look at the past record and just put them back on the street to give them another chance to kill.
Concerned,
You are absolutely right that he is a danger while driving around drunk–or not drunk but simply impaired. The damage he did just touches on the danger under those conditions. And while it’s true that many killings by dui drivers were preceeded by many chances to stop them for previous dui driving arrests, that doesn’t mean that everyone who is ever arrested for dui will eventually kill somebody. He might, but he MIGHT not.
Anywhoo, the courts are supposed to deal with current situation when setting bond, not past. I doubt he currently has that vehicle to drive to endanger others with. Nobody in his right mind will loan him another. Unless he decides to drive while under the influence, he may be perfectly safe–or more to the point, WE may be perfectly safe.
If he actually was intoxicated when he did his flawed driving, he very likely will would not have remembered being shown the morgue afterward, had they done so. Part of the effect of drinking is that people have poor memories of what fools they are when drunk.
Time enough for that if he is found guilty. Do it when he’s sober enough to remember what he sees. If there are videorecordings of how he was acting at the time, it would be good to show him those as well.
David for effective control of potential killers
a 2000 ($200) bail would have been ok, IF he had had a mandated choice to go directly from jail, straight into drug/alcohal treatment program- until his trial date arrives or, he gets a much heftier bond.
Please keep this young man in jail and get him some help. He is a danger not only to himself but to everyone in his path. Letting him out of jail will only give him a signal that he can continue on this destructive way of life. HE NEEDS HELP!
To David….he is a threat to others … I think anyone that is locked up for drinking and driving should have to walk through that morgue before they are released on bond. He is guilty of drinking and driving or he would not have been locked up on a DUI…. All the deaths we see are from repeat offenders … They have had DUI charges before … Sometimes even 3 or more…..they always walk away with hardly a scratch … It is time we get their attention the first time they are charged and I can guarantee this was not his first time drinking and driving .. It is just the first time caught. I am not lenient …It would please me if he just sat in jail….but our system dosent work that way. And the only way he can ” stay safe ” is to be sober in jail …once out he can and will hit the booze again. He needs to sit for a while and think!
2010 Florida Statues …title XL VII Criminal procedures and corrections… Chapter 903 bail 903.406 purpose of and criteria for bail determination …the purpose of a bail determination in criminal proceedings is to insure the appearance of the criminal defendant at subsequent proceedings and to protect the community against unreasonable danger from the criminal defendant. …. I would say hitting 2 houses a suv a tree fence 2 culverts God only knows what else ..he is a danger …bail should have been set higher. Just imagine if it had been a car or 2 with families . We have to get their attention now not when they have already killed innocent ppl! It is too late at that point. That’s all I’m saying.
It is Saturday morning he maybe sober now but what about tonight or Sunday moring at 1:09 again????
REGARDING:
“they pay 200 dollars and he walks out of jail. No he should still be sitting in jail in a cell thinking of all the families he could have torn apart by his stupid and selfish decision to drink and drive.”
Bond is set to see that he shows up for trial, not to punish him before he is found guilty. If he is considered a threat to others or unlikely to return for any price, no bond is set. What he is reported to have done could easily have killed people but he is not likely to hurt people now that he is mostly sober.
The suggestions for punishment and/or correction could be good ones AFTER conviction, if there is one. In fact, you’re more lenient than I am since I consider DUI attempted murder–but that’s just me.
David considering purpose of bond
proper response to attempted murder
Aaron Lee Deyton: This is your WAKE UP call….please don’t hit the the “snooze” button.
This Young man at the age of 21 is certainly headed down the wrong path. May God get hold of him and turn his life around before its too late. He has his whole life in front of him and should wake up early and see where heis headed. God bless him.
$2000 …that’s all … Really? …they pay 200 dollars and he walks out of jail. No he should still be sitting in jail in a cell thinking of all the families he could have torn apart by his stupid and selfish decision to drink and drive. This is ridiculous … Now he is back out there ready to do it again. A 2000 dollar bond is not high enough. He should have at least a 50 thousand bond…or more . Do not make it so easy for them to walk out of jail. This is just the start for him he is 21 … And he will do it again. They should have to take a tour of a morgue and watch a few films about what drinking and driving does before they are even given a bond amount. I am fuming about this . Absolutely wrong for him to be out .
