Traffic Stop Leads To Drug Arrest
February 5, 2012
A Cantonment man was arrested on drug charges following a traffic stop.
Corderious D. Stanton, 19, was charged with possession of marijuana less than 20 grams and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute.
An Escambia County deputy conducted a traffic stop for a broken tail light on Stanton’s vehicle in the parking lot of the Tom Thumb at 392 South Highway 29.
According to an arrest report, Stanton told the deputy that he had a small amount of marijuana in his front pocket. A search of the vehicle also located a quantity of crack cocaine in the vehicle cut into individual pieces.
Stanton was released from the Escambia County Jail on $16,000 bond.

19 years old…weed and crack. I hope this kid sees this as his wake up call.
Mom and Dad it’s not to late…….it’s never to late to TRY.
An officer one time stopped me on the other side of town and when he asked
for my drivers license I started to get out and he jumped back and put his hand
on his holster and said, “Stay in the Car and Don’t Start Hopping Around”.
I’m WAY to old to HOP but I got the message. LOL
I had been shopping at Walmart and had put my purse in my truck before I
had arrived, at my age I have learned not to put one in the buggy if at all
possible. Sometimes Officers know what to look for and sometimes we ALL just make them nervous.
P.S. if anyone cares I actually thought he was a very good officer
$160.00 I hope most people could get someone to pay that. The fool must be knew to this bet next time he says no…he dont have anything. Oyeah it depends who is pulling you over if your getting searched or not. And it is hard to proove an illegal search Ive had it happen to me And no I dont drink or use any drugs the crazy officer thought my child was my drug dealer umm NO hes just a normal 16 year old child. I guess since we didnt look alike that was the prob..
I hope he at least gets that tail light fixed.
I’m all for safe trafficking.
Well this guy probably did not even get inside the police station before some of his drug buddies had the $160.00 to put up for his bail or maybe even the entire $1600.00. Such a waste of time of the officer for this guy to only be slapped on the wrist and then let go. Shucks he probably has another pocket full of drugs to distribute right now to some kid waiting in a bus line for school and its early in the day yet. I guess this is the reason that the prisons are so empty and Mr. Scott deems it more economical to give the prisons to outsiders to operate. Such a farce….
@ just an idea
I just spit my cereal out all over the place because I laughed so hard
@Amy Ahhhh I remember when I was so naive and innocent. Actually I miss those days
The kid was more than likely asked if he had anything on him. He more than likely knew that the officer did not have (legal) probable cause to search his vehicle unless a K9 was called and hit on his vehicle. Knowing he had drugs, which the dog would have hit on, thus giving the officer PC to search the vehicle and definitely finding the crack; he figures “I’d rather take the hit for possession of weed than distributing crack.” Not knowing that once it is determined that he was in possession of a controlled substance the officer no longer requires the services of the K9 for PC to search the vehicle, he gets busted for the crack anyway.
Knowing the law is good, but not messing with any of it is always better. Good job ECSO!
Just a guess but if you didnt get searched then you probably didnt do anything to make the officer thinl you needed to be. They do have some experience in spotting things that need further jnvestigation, after all.
So like when the officer told him about his light did the guy say yeah and I just want you to know I got pot in my pocket and please seach my car? last time I got stoped I didnt get searched..
REGARDING:
” on $1,600 bond.”
The cost of doing business?
David for good tail lights
Re: Jane: Uh, no…read the part that says, “Stanton was released from the Escambia County Jail…”
Good job! One more off the streets!
