Man Arrested On Drug, Weapons Charges; Pair Charged With Child Abuse
August 25, 2014
A Molino man has been arrested on several drug and weapons charges. And he’s also charged, along with a woman, for allegedly smoking marijuana and leaving their stash within the reach of a child.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to Countri Lane for a welfare check on a woman that had not been seen in a few days. Deputies found Shawn Anderson sitting in the driver’s seat of a 2000 Crown Victoria in the driveway of the home, and they reported a strong odor of burning marijuana from the car.
A search of the vehicle revealed a bag containing 26 grams of marijuana within hands-reach of a child sleeping in the backseat, a .25 caliber pistol loaded with hollow rounds, digital scales with marijuana residue, sandwich bags, rolling papers, two marijuana roaches and $462 in cash, according to an arrest report.
Anderson and a female that had just exited the vehicle, 28-year old Tiffany Potter, admitted to deputies that they had been smoking marijuana in front of the child, deputies said.
Anderson was charged with felony possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana over 20 grams, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and child abuse without great bodily harm. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $20,500 bond.
Potter was charged with felony child abuse without great harm and released from the Escambia County Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Went to school with Tiffany and we hung out a ton. We went our seperate ways and it breaks my heart to know we went in the complete opposite directions…
Hope this wakes her up and she reaches out to the people who were her true friends!!!
>>What about the woman, who hadn’t been seen in several days?
The woman was at the residence, per the ECSO report.

Really nice. Now the child has inhaled their second hand smoke. With all of those serious charges he made bail. I guess I don’t understand the system. You can be sure he will show up for his court date.
