Escambia Man Gets Eight Years On Meth Charges
July 8, 2015
An Escambia County man was sentenced to state prison on drug charges.
David Gerald Fields was sentenced to eight years in state prison after a Santa Rosa County jury found him guilty of manufacture of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a listed chemical. The 37-year old Pensacola man was arrested on November 17, 2014, by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Department who responded to a report of a meth lab on West Lake Road in Milton.
As deputies arrived, four individuals, including Fields, ran from the residence and were detained. Inside the residence officers discovered numerous items consistent with the manufacture of methamphetamine, including various chemicals that are used to produce the drug.
Circuit Judge John Simon sentenced Fields following the jury’s verdict to eight years in the state prison followed by five years of probation. Assistant State Attorney Zach Brost prosecuted the case.
