Molino Man Facing Drug Charges After Short Police Chase
November 16, 2016
A Molino man is facing multiple felony charges after a short police chase in Molino.
An Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy reported that 24-year old Telacia Markay Brown ran a stop sign at Cedartown Road and Highway 95A. As he approached Highland Baptist Church, the deputy attempted a traffic stop with lights and siren activated, but Brown continued to a residence about a quarter mile away on Nancy Lane. He told the deputy that he did not stop because he was continuing to the residence of the vehicle owner.
A K-9 alerted for the presence of narcotics in the vehicle. Deputies reported the recovery of pills containing oxycodone, pills containing hydrocodone and $792 in cash.
Brown was charged with felony fleeing and eluding, operating a motor vehicle without a license, two felony counts of possession of controlled substance without a prescription, and trafficking in oxycodone. He also received traffic citations for opening a motor vehicle with an expired registration and failing to stop at a stop sign.
He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $113,600.

A common thing with smugglers and mules, is to use rental vehicles so their personal vehicles can not be confiscated.
>>wondering if the vehicle was impounded with possibility of sale as used in commitment of a Felony?
The owner was advised that it was a possibility, but it was not seized at the time of the arrest, according to the arrest report.
Mr. Brown seems to have not been the owner of the vehicle he was using so am wondering if the vehicle was impounded with possibility of sale as used in commitment of a Felony?
If so should be a lesson to all vehicle owners, Do Not let druggies borrow your vehicles.
Mr. Brown, according to the Clerk of Court website, is no stranger to ‘the system’.
Glad nobody was harmed in this incident…Bless the LEO’s.
