Molino Man Facing Weapons, Drug Charges

March 4, 2016

A Molino man is facing numerous weapons and drug charges after deputies spotted him speeding on Molino Road.

Clifford McFann, Jr., was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm while committing a felony, possession of cocaine, introduction of a controlled substance into a detention facility, tampering with evidence, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting an officer without violence and driving while license suspended.

Deputies observed a vehicle traveling on Molino Road at a high rate of speed. They later located the vehicle parked in a driveway at Brickyard Road and Blake Street, occupied by McFann and a female.  McFann got out of the vehicle and refused to follow orders from deputies and began to resist. Deputies then “assisted” McFann to the ground as he continued to struggle, according to an arrest report.

A search of McFann’s vehicle revealed 13 loose rounds of .32 caliber bullets in his left front pocket, and a 32 caliber revolver with five live rounds and one spent casing. The gun was listed as stolen out of Mobile, AL, in 1979.

McFann, a convicted felon, was placed under arrest and transported to the Escambia County Jail.  As he was being removed from the patrol vehicle at the jail, the deputy reported that his lips and pants were covered with a blue powdery substance that later tested positive for cocaine. According to the arrest report, McFann had several plastic baggies full of cocaine in his mouth that he had attempted to chew up. He was transported to Baptist Hospital for evaluation.

McFann was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $47,500 bond.

    This is a reminder that being a Law Enforcement Officer is a dangerous job.

    I’m still laughing about how the officers “assisted” him to the ground. I’m guessing a simple stop, drop and roll didn’t get it for him? With a record like he has he should have been denied bail. Bail was probably paid with 5’s and 10’s he had in his stash from local sales being so good. As said before, good old revolving door policy at its best. Thanks judge…..

    Thug Life for sure. Wondering where the bullet from the “spent” round went?
    $47,500.00 Bond…Good Grief, there are way lesser offenses that have a higher bond than that. Who in their right mind would allow that to happen?
    Guessing this will be reported as a single offense using the more serious charge to report to FLDOE and the state.
