    Escambia County Sheriff’s office did a fantastic job today taking into custody someone who bailed from a traffic stop in Molino. Sgt. Crossley and Dep. Baker were on scene and apprehended the individual along with their dog Tango to protect the fine residents of Molino. The apprehension was made adjacent to our property so we were relieved that the individual was in custody. I must say they were totally professional and dedicated to their job and community. These guys deserve kudos for putting their lives at risk everyday and we should appreciate what they do for us, I know I do. Thank you guys and all the other fine police officers who assisted you…..a thankful citizen.
