Inmate Busted For Selling Cocaine While On Work Release
July 30, 2016
An Escambia County work release inmate has been arrested for selling drugs rather than going to work.
A month-long narcotics investigation by the Escambia Count Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of 31-year old Lamarcus Brown. Investigators received information that Brown was leaving work release and selling cocaine from a home on Carey Avenue.
The Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team and Special Investigations Unit served a search warrant at a home on Carey Avenue. Inside the home, they reported finding 64-grams of cocaine, paraphernalia to package and distribute cocaine, and more than $2,200 in cash.. Brown was charged with trafficking cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Deputies said Brown is a 14-time convicted felon that was on work release from a previous drug-related charge.

By this time it isn’t even his fault anymore.
The justice system has shown him they aren’t serious.
David for removal of laws we won’t enforce
I’m not surprised at all . This judge is not very good as a judge .you know this criminal is smarter thanks the judge that being said put him on a chain gang and let’s see first hand what he does. And at night lock his butt up until it’s time to work again. Oh yeah for about 40 yrs
What you have to understand about our current justice system Judges lawyers etc… Its job security for criminals to keep repeat offending .imagine how many would not have a job if not so many court cases. Our Law enforcement are putting their lives on the line for the betterment of society. Yet the criminal justice system slaps them in the face constantly. So till something changes in the system of adjudication and sentencing for repeat offenders nothing will change. So until them keep your friends and families backs. Be a neighborhood watch advocate pray for your law enforcement and help them in every way you can. And pray one of these repeat offenders never gets near you and you are innocently caught up in there war on humanity.
This 14-time convicted felon and those like him (drug dealers) are wolves who prey on sheep (the young people they sell drugs to). Even though the law enforcement agencies do their jobs, the other parts of the criminal justice system do not. The court and correctional systems are broken, do not work properly and keep putting repeat felons back on the streets where they wreak havoc on our society. How much longer will society allow this before some of us become sheepdogs? Politicians at state and federal levels are doing nothing to fix this problem. We need major changes in judges and politicians. We need people in those positions who truly care about ridding society of such criminals and protecting the citizens of our nation.
Judge Ross Bilbrey….remember that name!
Yes, I am also appalled that after that many convictions, he is still eligible for work release. A possible solution to the justice system failure is to find out which judges are allowing this and when their names come up on the ballot, do NOT vote to retain them. Otherwise, they get a free pass. At least that’s the way I understand it. I thought work release was supposed to be somewhat of a privilege earned by those who earnestly want to re-enter society as a hard working, productive, crime free member.
31 years old and soon to be convicted of felony number 15. At some point he has two felony convictions in the same year in his young life. There are those who blame the system and we all know there are flaws, it isn’t perfect but the bigger problem is those who run the system. A pencil does not make mistakes, the one using the instrument is at fault. A vehicle does not cause accidents, the operator is responsible. With elections approaching we need to be educated on the candidates and not choose for any reason other than best qualified.
So will 15 be the magical number ???
Doubtful, he’s only selling drugs, not like he’s a menace to society or anything…..
Apparently this guy needs a new profession as he does not seem to be very good at dealing drugs.
14 times, really, WOW!!!!!
Well, he was working.
Seriously though a 14 time convicted felon gets work release, that’s a joke.
14 Felony Convictions and still on the streets.
Thank goodness for multiple 2nd chances.
“14-time convicted felon that was on work release”!!!!!!!!!!!
Which judge released this man back into our presence????
William, we want to know the rest of the story.
Send him to Indonesia… he would only have one conviction there. 14 convictions and not locked up for life.
Some days a judge just smiles. This will be a no-brainer sentencing.
Wow – 14-times convicted felon goes back to his calling in life, making money and by doing so destroys the future of numerous others by providing cocaine. He obviously cannot be rehabilitated. Yesterday the execution of drug dealers by firing squad in Indonesia made the news. The US media universally condemns other countries for using such drastic punishment. What is an acceptable way of handling drug dealers in this country?
and the circle of life continues…………
14 times convicted felon? guess he’s back on the street again by now. ya think our criminal justice system is broke?
He certainly was working!
You had one job…How was a 14-time convicted felon that was on work release from a previous drug-related charge allowed to EVEN be on a work release program.
“14 time convicted felon”? He’s only 31. Why is he still running around free?
Looks like his part time job paid well , except he got caught AGAIN !
