Too Drunk To Run: Cantonment Man Charged With Attempted Stabbing
July 22, 2016
A Cantonment man too drunk to run from deputies is facing multiple felony charges after allegedly stealing a pack of cigarettes and trying to stab a man, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Donnie Ivory Padgett, 68, was allegedly at a house on Robinson Street when he was asked by acquaintances to leave because he began “acting crazy because he can’t handle his liquor,” an arrest report states. He then allegedly stole a pack of Newport cigarettes, pulled out a long kitchen knife and ran toward the victim in an attempt to stab him.
Responding deputies located Padgett at the intersection of Washington and Callaway streets. A deputy reported that Padgett attempted to run, but he stumbled and fell to the ground due to intoxicated state, according to the report. Deputies found the Newports, the knife and a white rock that field tested positive for cocaine on Padgett’s person.
Padgett was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, cocaine possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Friday morning with bond set at $31,000.

Padgett gets to live in a retirement center with guards and bars on the windows. No smokes, no coke, no kitchen knives. There he can rethink about all those days and nights he was drunk and high. May you live a longer life down the straight road.
The other Tina is not me. Getting drunk and doing drugs has no age limits. Grow up old man and live life down the right path.

That’s going to be an expensive pack of smokes dude. 68 years old, drunk and doing cocaine. A what point do you grow past this crap? Hope he gets the wakeup call.
Poor ol guy. I feel bad for him, he’s always so kind hearted when I see him up by the store. But I can’t feel too bad though, gotta be responsible for what you do even when you don’t know what you’re doing anymore. That’s why they call liquor ’spirits’… it will call the devil to you and he will work through you. Time to get sober Mr. Padgett, I’m praying for you.
will they learn bad boy bad boy what u gonna do fall down lol….
