Cantonment Man Wanted For Rape Busted With Weapons And Drugs

October 13, 2016

A Cantonment man wanted out of Mississippi on a rape charge was arrested in Molino armed and in possession of drugs, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Robert Shane Boyette, age 34 of Williams Ditch Road, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of ammunition by a convicted felon, possession of marijuana less than 20 grams, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of methamphetamines and possession of crack cocaine. He is also awaiting extradition back to Lauderdale County, MS, to face the rape charge. Bond on the local charges was set at $38,000.

An Escambia County deputy on patrol reported finding Boyette in a small green car with the driver’s door open parked next to a closed business on Molino Road near Jahaza Road. He was immediately detained after  a records check returned the outstanding rape warrant.

When deputies searched Boyette, they reported finding a glass smoking pipe in his pants pocket, a .380 live round in a front pocket, and a  small clear plastic bag with marijuana in his sock. He also had two knives, one of which was an automatic switch blade, clipped to his pocket.

Boyette gave consent to search the vehicle, and a K-9 was called and alert positively on the vehicle, according to an arrest report. Deputies searched the vehicle and reported finding eight  .22 caliber live rounds in the floorboard. At the jail, deputies located two clear plastic bags in Boyette’s wallet one of  which tested positive for methamphetamine and the other contained crack cocaine.

    For all the ones complaining about the bond. Their are guidelines that deputies and police officers have to follow set forth by the others in the judicial system. Furthermore he will be extradited to where the original crime took place with a no bond warrant. Yes he deserves to sit and rot in prison, but the charges here are weapon and drugs related. He will not be seeing the outside for a long long time or maybe none at all.

    That bond is only for the drug and weapon charges. He has NO bond for what he did to my daughter.

    Bond at 38,000 ? I can’t believe this. The law should protect us from creeps with violent tendencies.
