Search Warrant Leads To Arrest Of Walnut Hill Man On Drug Charges
September 16, 2013
A Walnut Hill man is facing multiple felony charges after a search warrant was served at his residence by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and Narcotics Unit.
Curtis Tucker, 49, was charged with possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance (Xanax and Roxicodone) with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute and possession of a controlled substance (bath salts).
The search warrant was served by the Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit in the 7000 block of Highway 97 as part of an ongoing narcotics investigation. The residence was secured by the SWAT team, which reported Tucker and two other individuals inside the home.
During a search of the brick home, investigators reported finding about $3,197 in cash, crack cocaine, 89 Xanax in an unlabeled pill bottle, a quantity of crack cocaine, over 20 grams of marijuana, one roxicodone pill in a plastic container, a baggie containing methylenedioxypyrovalerone (commonly known as a type of bath salts), and numerous items of drug paraphernalia.
They also located a .22 caliber rifle in the den of the house, and 17 bags of a white powdery substance in a front yard shed. The substance was sent to a lab for testing; additional charges are pending those results.
Tucker was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

Damn. He always had bad traffic in and outta there.
Its a wonder that he’s lasted this long. Like 20 yrs.
Shawty always took care of his friends and the church
anytime he could.
My kids, 18 & 8, live in Walnut Hill, go to school at walnut hill and northview.. This is NOT OK.. He doesn’t live far from me.. I don’t care how “good” you think he may be, this is not acceptable.. He has the potential to harm my kids and I refuse to stand by and say nothing!
I wonder how you would feel if your child or grandchild got a hold of some of these Drugs and it was too much and they O.D. and died as a result of this good neighbor that is always helping someone. Well, I’m sure he wouldn’t be that same great neighbor in your eyes after all that maybe. Voice of experience, knowing the loss of a child myself; I believe that the nivea notion of this good neighbor would probably come to a screeching halt. I’m sure as the result of losing a child you would probably be in a state of shock for weeks but once that subsided you would want him brought up on charges for your dearli deceased one’s life. These drugs are terribly dangerous, especially the Bath Salts which can be very deadly. This could have been a reality for some poor parents. Hoping JUSTICE prevails in this Case.

Lets see……….
Peddling Cocaine, Marijuana, pills and bath salts and he is a “good neighbor”? What kind of neighbors do you have if he is a good guy??
I bet he was just trying to make a honest living.
This is the problem folks. The mentality today is leave the drug pushers alone, they are not hurting a thing…. My big ole Butt!!!!!!!!
