Cantonment Man Gets 120 Days On Drug Charges
March 6, 2018
A Cantonment man was sentenced to jail time after being arrested on drug charges related to a traffic stop in late September 2017.
Jordan Elijah Phillips received 120 days in the county jail for possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also ordered to pay about $700 in fines and costs, and his driver’s license was suspended for one year. He was given credit for 118 days he spent in jail awaiting trial.
Escambia County deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle Phillips was driving in the area of North “U” Street after observing a seat belt violation. They reported finding a digital scale with marijuana residue in his pants pocket. Upon searching his vehicle, deputies found a baggie containing marijuana, another baggie containing methamphetamine and a digital scale.
Phillips was also cited for not wearing a seat belt.

You have got to be a youngster. Yes, one could theoretically receive 5 years for a third degree felony however, that is the statutory max. You must know Florida goes by a points system. Even then, it means nothing. I am aware of some in our area that have had so many felonies that when looking at their record on a screen, I must scroll and scroll to get to the end. I know 4 or 5 off the top of my head and none have been to prison yet. They go to the road camp EVERY TIME. It’s sickening.
When it’s our turn to vote on the Judges’s – “Shall Judge (their name) be retained in Office” Simply check NO. Get a new group every time, because the current ones can’t remember how the Judicial System works.
I believe Possession of meth with intent to sell is a 2nd degree felony
The crime of Sale or Delivery of Meth is a Second Degree Felony in Florida and punishable by up to 15 years in prison, 15 years of probation, and a $10,000 fine.
I wish that when sentences are posted – either long or short – that the name of the Judge was given also. It is frustrating to read articles and not know or be able to keep track of who you should vote for in the next election. People generally do not follow the Judges records and blindly vote for the incumbents, which is not always a bad thing but the public should be informed. Thanks
Possession of meth is a third degree felony so he could have gotten five years in prison. So I’d say four MONTHS was a pretty sweet deal for him.
He looks as shocked as the rest of us.
can you say DEAL !!!!!!! Sang like a bird !! He must have gave up someone or a few people who are worth something. CRAZY
The more I think about it he probably sang like a bird and made a deal with the State, at least we can hope there is a method to their madness.
We haven’t heard the last of this fellow.
It is almost as if the judge and the poison peddler are friends. You are right Bill, the 120 days was nothing but a chance to get his second wind and network with the other scum in the jailhouse. Get rid of the judge, get rid of the poison peddlers.
wow!
Wow this judge is a complete asset to all drug dealers . You are the best just let him get the rest he needs and he will work even harder the next time he sells drugs . Job security is key if you don’t believe me ask the judge or the drug dealer !!!!!!!
Judges are elected. Find out which judge made this ridiculous decision and vote him or her out next time. In fact, don’t re-elect ANY judges.
120 less 118= out in 2 days….driving and back in business
That’ll teach him! I bet he will think twice before he sells meth again. Good job judge!
