Jason Daniel Kirk Gets 25 Years In Prison For Half Pound Of Pills
December 31, 2010
A Flomaton man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after he was arrested in Florida with just under a half pound of illegal pills allegedly stolen from an Alabama pharmacy.
Jason Daniel Kirk, 30, pleaded guilty to three counts of trafficking in illegal drugs and three counts of possession of controlled substances. His sentence includes a 25 year minimum for on two of the trafficking counts.
The case stemmed from a burglary that Kirk was alleged to have committed in March, 2010 at Fred’s in East Brewton where numerous bottles of pills were taken.
The Escambia County (Fla.) Narcotics Unit received information that the defendant was selling these pills out of his room at the Value Place Hotel on Scenic Highway. A search warrant was executed, and deputies found a lock box that contained quantities of Xanax, oxycodone, methadone, morphine and hydrocodone, according to the arrest report. One bag of hydrocodone weighed in excess of 200 grams (0.44 pounds), the arrest report stated.
The key to the safe was located on Kirk’s person. Deputies also located over $600 in cash and notebooks containing sales and inventory figures for the pills . Kirk admitted to ownership of the narcotics, and that they were taken from the Fred’s, according to the State Attorney’s Office.
Jason Kirk’s brother, Matthew Kirk of Brewton, was indicted by an Escambia County (Ala.) Grand Jury on two counts of third degree burglary, one court of second degree theft of property in connection with the the pharmacy burglary. Matthew Kirk was the only police officer on duty in the small Alabama town at the time the burglary occurred. Matthew Kirk has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trail.

This is my brother. He did 8 years and is out. Doing great! He is a wonderful, hardworking man and I am so proud of him. I did 3 years probation.
You know I have known him for awhile all the way to before he did this and yes he had problems and yes he probaly did alot of crazy things when he was younger. But, there is also a good side of jason that I have seen many of times so before thinks that he desrves more he has a little boy out there who will never see his daddy while he grows up that is the part jason hates the worst he knows he was wrong and he is worried about his son I know he put himself there but 25 years? comon and yes he will serve all 25 years not any less its manatory. You can murder someone and get less alot less I just dont understand but I will keep on praying for him and his family
25 years is a manditory sentence. So he will be there for the 25.
25 years-Translation….Out in 5 so he can be a menence again.
boy he looks mean…..
so he’s not nice?
He keyed my freshley painted car when I was 17,and he pulled a gun on one of my dearest friends. I am hoping he serves every minute of his time.
It just make my day getting on northescambia.com and hear good news like this.
JUSTICE!!! Hopefully he will serve every day of it.
“These kids today are just stupied”
I hope you’re just joking around about the spelling of “stupid” and all of the crimes that you confessed to.
i beat that idiot up one time after he sucker punched me at a party. this idiot has also did so many crimes and wronged so many ppl and got away with so much crap that 25 years doesn’t seem like enough to me. good riddance. he does not belong in society, ppl like this make alabama look bad
Elmer Question?
What do you do for a living now?
I mean now that you can’t get a good job with benefits because you
have a record for being a theif and going to prison?
These kids today are just stupied, 25 years for pills.
Back in my day I got 4 years for a bank heist, netted 16K spent half, hid the rest. Got caught two years after the heist. Fed time is easer then state time.
Now that being said. 20 years for robing a liquor store vs. 4 years for a bank job, Liquor stores have maybe $200.00 on a good night and bank’s. well thats where they keep the money
Why no pic of the “LEO”?
I would be willing to bet that he will get less than 3 years for the burglary in Alabama.
Tough laws, tough judges, and tough law enforcement make for a tough sentence. I think he picked the wrong Escambia to visit!
