The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office seized tens of thousands of dollars in cash and marijuana plants as search warrants were recently executed.

After serving three different search warrants, authorities seized over $35,000 in cash, 83 marijuana plants worth over $166,000, over 15 pounds of “high grade” marijuana with a street value of over $63,000 and a quantity of crack cocaine and prescription medications. Deputies also seized nine firearms including assault rifles and handguns, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Investigators said several people will face charges after the search warrants were served in Crescent Lake, Myrtle Grove and Monte Claire.

    >>>Why did it not say the names of the people?

    No names were released by the Sheriff’s Office, probably because “several people will face charges” — they have not been arrested.

    Sometimes, the search warrants are executed and no one is arrested. They have to go to a judge and get an arrest warrant for the suspect(s).

    So they tend not to announce the names of people that have not been arrested.

    Looks like the ECSD Intellegence/surveillance people are earning their pay.

    I wonder how this will affect the market?
