Couple Arrested With Gun Outside Escambia County Ultrasound School

April 18, 2018

A man and woman with a gun were apprehended outside an Escambia County ultrasound school Tuesday.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Florida Institute of Ultrasound on University Parkway after receiving information that a male and female were on their way to the institute with a gun.

Deputies arrived on scene and were able to apprehend Mark and Mary Kinney before they entered the building.

During a search, a gun was found in Mark’s waistband and plastic baggie with white residue in his shirt pocket, which tested positive for methamphetamine, according to Amber Southard, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

According to the report, the Kinneys wanted a technician to do a scan of Mark’s right ear because he thought something was moving in it, a witness told deputies. A gun and a plastic baggie with methamphetamine in it was found in Mark’s waistband during a search.

Mark Kinney, 52, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a concealed firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia. Mary Kinney, 41, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a concealed firearm and introduction of contraband into a county detention facility. They remain in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $21,000 for Mark Kinney and $25,000 for Mary Kinney.

    Outstanding job to my brothers in green and the tipster. When I look at these two misguided souls I see nothing but hate. I also see how both of them look about 20 years older than their reported age. Meth has beat them down miserably along with their minds. If you are not happy with your own life don’t go out and try to hurt someone else. Get help.

    I wish that “3 strikes and you’re out” program was still in effect. Repeat offenders like these need to be removed from society forever. They will NEVER change. They are what they are. That said, they are perfect for each other.
