Molino Man Gets Prison Time For Meth Lab
January 18, 2012
A Molino man has been sentenced to state prison on charges related to a meth lab found last year at his Molino Road home.
Sheldon Dewayne Flowers, 29, was sentenced by Judge Jan Shackleford to three years in prison with a minimum mandatory of three years, and court costs were set at over $50,000.
Flowers was originally arrested in February 2011 and charged with trafficking methamphetamine,, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a listed chemical.
The arrest came after Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit discovered a meth laboratory inside a home at 484 Molino Road. According to their report, deputies found methamphetamine, numerous items used in the manufacture of meth and a stolen Rug Doctor cleaning machine.
Deputies also said they discovered a Mason jar containing enough methamphetamine liquid to produce well over 200 grams of meth, along with a large “one pot” meth lab.
Stephanie Flowers of Molino was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia in connection with the meth lab discovery. Charges against her were later dropped.

Really…… for such a dangerous operation that put so many people in jeopardy? Three years is unbelievable! Maybe the crack dealers need to change trades since they’re getting 25 yr. to life sentences for their crimes and the sentence is much lower for the meth-lab scientists!
duh Micah and no I am not their parent yet I have known them since they were born JUST SAYING
You can teach them for 18 years them they do what they want to do,,,,, The Mom is a great person,,,,
@ Lauren: lol wut…”Figures” stated that the parents should be disappointed in their son’s brush with the law. Sarcasm can be tricky to detect in text. Nothing derogatory was said. On another note- are you the one of these kids’ parents or was that a typo? (last sentence)
I thought I was say something on behalf of this mans mother that Figures wants to be so catty with her remark of them being proud. Do you know his Mother I think not because if you did you wouldn’t have said that. I know for a fact that she was a and is a great Mother where her children are concerned they were taught right from wrong and this was a choice they made and has no reflection upon her character. This lady knows about the penal she worked for 20 yrs in a corrections facility herself as an officer there and she was very good at her job. When we raise our children and teach them right from wrong what they do with it with they are beyond raising age then they are responsible for their actions not her.
LOL!! So funny, concidering he’s been staying at my hotel on and off for over a month!! I’m glad he got arrested, he trashed our rooms!!!
Charges where dropped with the understanding that she can be charged later with a more serious charge. Not that the meth lab wasn’t serious enough but they are looking for something more.
This is what I understand to be the case.
These two are not a couple, they are brother and sister. Their parents should be proud. I knew both of them in high school and boy, this is no surprise. Three years does seem like a short sentence…
This is very interesting considering the couple three years ago that is doing 15 years on less charges? How can the law change on different individuals?
These wimpy little sentences of 36 months for manufacturing illegal drugs is a joke. The garbage these fools are producing cause far more damage than 3 years in jail will remedy. It’s time to get tough with these offenders. 10 years would make a difference, 3 years is a walk in the park.
Why were charges against the female dropped??
Great job ECSD… Another one bites the dust
