Update: Driver Stuck On Railroad Tracks Charged With DUI
November 14, 2016
(This is an update to a previous story published November 4.)
A driver that became stuck on railroad tracks in Cantonment earlier this month has been charged DUI.
According to a recently released report from the Florida Highway Patrol, Jeffery Thomas McKamey, age 58 of Cantonment, had a breath alcohol level of .23, nearly three times the legal limit.
On November 3, McKamey missed turn and became stuck on the tracks near Woodbury Circle. He told the responding state trooper that he had six or seven beers prior to the accident. The trooper was unable to complete a field sobriety test because he was unable to stand without nearly falling over.
McKamey was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $1,000 bond. He’s due back in court in early December.

This could have caused a catastrophic derailment. He should have been charged with wreckless endangerment.
Instead of posting ridiculous comments, about a situation you know nothing about, why don’t you pray for him & make better use for your time.
With suitcases in his truck & now this, looks like a rock bottom to me.
This person has lost his job, his home & practically everything he owns. His family has & continues to help but he has to want the help. So please, just pray & refrain from saying something with no facts or that’s just stupid.
annne what make you think he has insurance people like this dont care about insurance or orher people if they get drunk and drive
Um, I wonder where they want me to make an extra crossing ?
Thank God the railroad stopped him from getting out on Hwy 29. I hope his insurance sky-rockets if they don’t cancel him entirely.
