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!
