Meth Arrest At Escambia Motel
April 10, 2014
One person was arrested after a methamphetamine operation was uncovered Wednesday at an Escambia County motel.
About 10:30 a.m., Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the American Best Motel at 7200 Plantation Road in response to an anonymous tip about possible narcotics activities.
Once inside the motel room deputies noticed material that is used in the manufacture of methamphetamines and called for the ECSO Narcotics Unit to take over the investigation.
Brett Randall Wilt, 38, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of methamphetamine, possession of a listed chemical and production of methamphetamine. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning with bond set at $46,000.

I used to work just down the street and that motel had the same issue, they rent their rooms to anyone and everyone, they just want to fill the rooms and really don’t care who they have in there. I had to finally quit could take it. I report the hotel I used to work at. I hope they close these hotels down.
BC. I hope you reported your findings to management..
I stayed at this hotel with my family a week ago and left do to the unsafe feeling and people coming and going out of others rooms.. Thank God someone did something! Hopefully there’s more to come!
I use to work at this Hotel and we would find Meth labs in the closets once a week. I worried about my safety every day but least usually had something exciting going on with all the guys in hazmat suits walking by. I did always found it strange how the hotel owner never got in trouble for allowing all the meth labs..
The guy last week that was arrested with over $100k, pot/cocaine to distribute, and weapons had a bond of $35,000 but some meth head gets $46,000? Doesn’t sound right to me.
