Vehicle Theft Suspect Found Sleeping, Snoring Like A ‘Wild Boar’
February 3, 2015
A Santa Rosa County vehicle theft suspect was found sleeping under a house, sounding like a wild boar, according to deputies.
Sunday night, a deputy with the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office was on routine patrol on Avalon Boulevard when he attempted a traffic stop on a Chevrolet pickup truck for a broken tag light. When the deputy activated his blue lights, the suspect vehicle turned around and abruptly came to a stop. Deputies said 37-year old Kevin Lee Barbour of Pensacola exited the vehicle and ran from the scene through a residential neighborhood.
A K-9 unit with the Sheriff’s Office responded to the area and began to track the Barbour. While on the track, deputies heard a noise which was described as a “snorting wild boar” coming from under a trailer. It was discovered the noise was coming from the Barbour who was sleeping heavily while concealed under the trailer.
After interrupting Barbour’s nap, deputies placed him under arrest. It was determined that the vehicle had been stolen in Escambia County.
Barbour was charged with driving with a suspended license third or subsequent offense, criminal mischief property damage, vehicle theft and resisting an officer without violence. He was booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail with bond set at $16,500.

I would not like to be his cellmate in prison.
Sleep Apnea is no joking matter.
Breath Rite strips do little to nothing, as far as alleviating symptoms.
It does help scare off predators when one is sleeping on a sand bar or in woods.
At least he will have a bed to sleep on in prison.
Way to go Sir Snooze Alot…
Apparently he never heard of Breathe rite strips. .
Lol.
