May 10, 2012

A Cantonment man was charged with three felonies after walking up to an Escambia County deputy with cocaine in his pants pocket.

According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report, 37-year old Lorenzo McNeal drove up and parked his vehicle on 57th Avenue near Lillian Highway where the deputy was speaking with an acquaintance Of McNeal.

The deputy asked McNeal for identification, at which time McNeal admitted he did not have a valid driver’s license. He was arrested as a habitual offender for driving without a license. Once at the jail, McNeal was discovered to have a small baggie of cocaine in his hip pocket, according to an arrest report. That resulted in charges of possession of cocaine and introduction of narcotics into a detention facility.

    Wh didn’t they check his pockets before he was placed in the car? He could have had a weapon…..Apparently he was too high to remember anything…but what if the fog lifted and the light bulb flickered for a second?

    Could have been a “distraction tactic” to lure the officers attention away from a larger stash of illegal substances.
