Mom And Son Enter Pleas In Century Drug Case

April 10, 2013

A Century man and his mother have pleaded no contest in connection with a drug raid that landed the mother and two sons behind bars.

The trio was arrested when the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant in February 2012 at a mobile home in the 100 block of West Highway 4, near the Century Care Center nursing home.

Karen Louise Quinley, 44, pleaded no contest to charges of possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia and destruction of evidence. Judge Gary Bergosh set an early May sentencing date for Quinley.

Her son, 19-year old Cortez Rasheen Davison, pleaded no contest to possession of drug paraphernalia. He was found guilty by Bergosh and sentenced to 12 months probation.

Last year, 20-year old Nakeetric Devonte Davison pleaded no contest and adjudication was withheld on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was sentenced by Judge  Gary Bergosh to 180 days in the county jail, with credit for three days served to be followed by 180 days probation.

Search Warrant Executed

After gaining entry to the mobile home, deputies reported finding Quinley in her bedroom. Quinley told deputies that she had tried to throw crack cocaine out of her bedroom window when she heard them at the door, but she was unable to get a window to open.

Nakeetric Davison told deputies that everything in his bedroom belonged to him, including the marijuana located by deputies. When asked by deputies if he sells marijuana, Nakeetric Davison replied “Yeah, I don’t have a job”, according to an arrest report.

In Nakeetric Davison’s room, narcotics officers reported finding items that included 417.6 grams pre-packaged marijuana under his bed in a Pringles can, a cookie jar and a plastic container, cash and “owe sheets” on the floor.

Cortez Davison, according to his arrest report, identified his bedroom but refused to answer further questions, instead asking for an attorney.

The February 2012 raid was not the first time the Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit  targeted alleged drug activity at the trailer. No one was home as officers executed a search warrant at the same mobile home in June 2010, finding a stem of marijuana in a bedroom, crack cocaine on the kitchen table, a razor blade with cocaine residue, a marijuana cigarette and digital scales during their search, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

Quinley was arrested on multiple charges following the 2010 search, but charges against her were later dropped due to insufficient evidence since she was not at home at the time of the raid.

    @DHG: Yes, you can call this a lack of parental guidance, especially of the correct direction.

    @Sam: Dually noted.

    Sam,
    You can’t properly call this a lack of parental guidance, not if she guided them into the trade.

    David for better parents

    It’s a sad day in this world when the whole family is in a drug operation together. How can you expect these kids to do any better with leadership like this……shame on you Mom….you should be ashamed!!! Better lives start at home…..you have to teach by example…….save our future……teach our youth…..say no to drugs!!!

    Too much of young people not being given a fundamental understanding of what is expected of them as members of society. No parental guidance. Its, what can i get for nothing. They arent being led or pushed to get educated, make something of themselves, get a JOB. It ends up badly for em.

    It’s sad to see. Even though times are BAD, I’m gonna pray for them and hopefully they get their lives back on a positive track. I know y’all are capable of more than selling.
