Century Man Arrested On Drug Trafficking, Possession Charges

August 14, 2013

A Century man driving without a license was arrested on multiple felony charges — including trafficking — after a Pensacola traffic stop.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop for improper window tint on Old Spanish Trail at the Moorings Apartments.  The driver, 33-year old Kevin Lamar Brown of Ramar Street in Century, admitted to deputies that he did not have a valid driver’s license.

Inside the vehicle, deputies reported finding a plastic bag containing an unmarked pill bottle containing a large quantity of acetaminophen-hydrocodone pills and a digital scale.

Brown told deputies that he and a female had found the bag while visiting Wayside Park at the foot of the 3 Mile Bridge. He said he was taking the pills to a friend to see if they could be sold for money, according to an arrest report. Deputies also reported finding a plastic bag with crack cocaine and marijuana.

Brown was charged with trafficking in a controlled substance (hydrocodone), possession of drug paraphernalia, cocaine possession and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.  He also received citations for driving while license suspended, felony possession of a controlled substance while in physical control of a motor vehicle and a written warning for the window tint violation.

He remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning with bond set at $14,000.
