Murder Suspect Arrested After Standoff With Deputies
September 7, 2015
A suspect in an August murder was arrested Sunday after an eight hour standoff with deputies near Ferry Pass Elementary School.
Charles Boutwell, 23, was charged with homicide in the death of Dewayne Nason Silason. At approximately 9 a.m. on August 11th, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office received a call in reference to a shots fired disturbance at Hansel Street and Hollywood Avenue. Silas was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds.
About 9:30 p.m. Saturday, authorities caught up with Boutwell in the 2200 block of Forsyth Avenue. He ran inside a residence and refused to come out until the SWAT team arrived. Boutwell surrendered about 5:30 a.m. Sunday without incident and was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.
Gerial Martell Deloach, 22, was previously arrested and charged with homicide in the case.

Good job guys.
in re: really on September 7th, 2015 6:43 am;
“…and was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.”
Where did it say he was given a bond.
Here’s how the article should have read: Boutwell surrendered quickly after deputies saturated the residence with tear gas.
A 9 hour standoff is unacceptable. When will law enforcement be allowed to use whatever force necessary to remedy situations like this? That is, concussion grenades, multiple k-9’s, whatever it takes, rather than tying up all the personnel required to get closure in these type scenarios.
this thug mudered someone ran from the cop for a month 9 hour stand off and he get a bond really
