Cantonment Man Charged With DUI, Stealing Copper Wire
March 1, 2012
A Cantonment man charged with DUI was also arrested for his alleged role in stealing items including copper wiring from a home on 10 Mile Road.
Brandon Lee Cobb, age 22 of Cantonment, was charged with burglary of a structure, grand theft and dealing in stolen property from a home that had previously burned on Bison Road. Cobb allegedly participated in removing copper wiring from the home along with stealing a chainsaw, power drill, socket sets and other items.
Cobb’s arrest came after a traffic stop at the Whataburger in Cantonment. Cobb was stopped after a deputy observed him traveling in excess of 70 mph on the two-lane North Palafox parallel to Highway 29. According to an arrest report, Cobb ran off the road and nearly hit a pedestrian. Following the traffic stop, Cobb reportedly tried to flee from deputies during a DUI test but was quickly apprehended after a brief foot chase. He was charged with driving under the influence and resisting an officer without violence.
Cobb was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
