Pensacola Police Arrest Century Man On Drug Charge

October 4, 2012

A Century man was arrested this week on traffic and drug charges by the Pensacola Police Department.

Lorenzo John Payne, age 23 of Hudson Hill Road, was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and cited for driving with a revoked license and driving with a license plate unassigned to the vehicle. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $2,000 bond.

According to an arrest report, Payne was stopped by Pensacola Police at Davis and Baars streets when officers discovered the license plate registration did not match the vehicle Payne was driving. During the traffic stop, officers reported finding Oxycodone pills in the center console of the vehicle with Payne having no valid prescription.

Payne told police that he knew the tag on the vehicle was wrong; he said his tag was seized during a previous traffic stop. His license had been suspended for failure to pay traffic fines, the arrest report states.
