One Arrested In Escambia Shooting
November 20, 2012
One person was arrested after a shooting Tuesday afternoon at the Sunrise Apartment complex on Fairfield Drive in Escambia County.
Deputies responded to a shots fired disturbance at 12:07 p.m. in the apartment complex. Deputies discovered an adult male with a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the leg. He was transported by EMS to a local hospital.
A witness was able to follow the two male suspects for a short distance before the suspects were involved in a car wreck and fled on foot. Deputies responded to the area with a K-9 unit in an attempt to track two suspects. A firearm was recovered in the area, deputies said.
Tevin Watson, 20, was arrested during the search and charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, deadly missiles and criminal mischief. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $31,000.
Deputies are still looking for a second suspect, who is described as a black male in his early 20’s. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at a (850) 436-9620 or Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

I would hope response thime would be good isnt their a deputy on that property almost at all times……
It seems that none of these late teen or early twenties individuals have something productive to do all day. I drove through Warrington (Westside of Pensacola) yesterday a little after 10 am and was amazed to see how many young males stood around on street corners or rode around on bicycles. If, like it was years ago, able bodied persons would be required again to perform community service in order to receive welfare benefits in any shape or form; it would cut down on “crimes stemming from boredom.”
1) Really, people, get a grip. Why in the world is this Morgan’s fault? In order to prevent every crime from happening, as you would like, we would have to have LEOs on every street corner 24-7. Doesn’t seem very realistic or practical, does it?
2) How could you have prevented this?

The response time was 1 minute, I would think that was pretty good, blaming every crime that happens on Morgan is kinda weak, I’m surprised nobody blamed Obama for it yet..
Maybe if this keeps up morgan will pay attention since they are LITTERING the streets with bodies
Just another day at the office around here.
Maybe it would help if Morgan sent a crew over to cut their yards and pick up their broken beer bottles and trash.
hmmm wonder if this has anything to do with the shooting @ mission road…………..
