Escambia Man Gets 10 Years On Meth Charges

June 20, 2014

An Escambia County man is headed to prison on meth charges.

Brandon Edison was convicted by an Escambia County Jury of Trafficking in Methamphetamine (28 grams or more, but less than 200 grams), manufacturing methamphetamine, and two counts of possession of unlawful listed chemicals.

Circuit Judge Edward P. Nickinson, III sentenced Edison to 10 years state prison with seven years to be served as a minimum mandatory, which means Edison will serve the first seven years of his sentence day for day.

On November 9, 2013, there was a report of a fire at the Mayfair Motel on Mobile Highway. The maintenance man responded to room 125 where he found smoke coming from under the door. When he entered the room he found a fire in the microwave. He recognized two of the three people that fled the room and was later ableĀ  to identify them in photo lineups. Escambia County Narcotics investigators, Escambia Fire Rescue, and hazmat responded to the scene. Inside the motel room there was an active meth lab found. There was also evidence that this had been an ongoing meth lab. No one was hurt in the fire.
