Escambia Man Gets 10 Years On Federal Meth, Weapons Charges
October 16, 2017
Anthony J. Fountain, 23, of Pensacola, was sentenced Friday to 10 years in federal prison after pleading guilty on July 20 to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and two counts of distributing methamphetamine.
In May 2017, an undercover agent purchased approximately 57.3 grams of methamphetamine from Fountain for $1,800.
Several days later, the agent purchased a firearm from Fountain, a previously convicted felon, for $150. The next day, the agent purchased approximately 70.3 grams of methamphetamine from Fountain for $2,350. Upon completion of the last methamphetamine transaction, law enforcement officers approached Fountain, who fled and began to throw potential evidence into Pensacola Bay. The discarded evidence was retrieved, and Fountain was arrested.

Everyone makes mistakes period! You don’t know if this man is just trying to feed his family or not! I sure don’t think you guys have anything to say about cops killing us blacks and not getting the time in prison that they actually deserve. A white woman just got ten years for killing someone. If that was a black person, getting life in prison wouldn’t be enough for you all! You ever heard of a white collar crime?? Key word is CRIME!
WHAT ? TEN YEARS THATS ALL WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ? I SAY ONE CHANCE ONE SHOT ONE TIME AND THEN HE WILL BE FREE AT LAST !!!!!!
Not enough time for this poison peddling felon.
