Molino Man Arrested After Failing To Stop For Deputies
May 30, 2018
A Molino man was arrested Sunday after failing to stop for an Escambia County deputy.
A deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop near Oakfield on a vehicle driven by 28-year old Dwayne Tyson Kennedy.
Kennedy continued to drive north to a Circle K at Highway 29 and Kenmore Road, drove through the gas pumps and continued around the building and back out to Highway 29, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report. The deputy turned off his emergency lights and did not pursue the vehicle. When the deputy turned around, he saw the vehicle had returned to the parking lot, and he conducted a traffic stop.
The deputy reported the smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle when Kennedy rolled down his window, the report states, and deputies recovered a digital scale and a marijuana blunt. They reported finding $515 in cash on Kennedy’s person, along with what was described as a written log of drug transactions.
Kennedy was charged with felony fleeing and eluding, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. He was also cited for a window tint violation. Kennedy was released from the Escambia County Jail on an $8,000 bond.
Deputies also located a loaded .9mm Luger in the parking lot behind the gas station immediately after the pursuit; however, Kennedy was not immediately charged with any weapons offense.
Kennedy’s Dodge Charger and the cash were seized, and the weapon was taken into evidence.

Way to go Escambia County Deputies!!
@Chros…… Why not both? Could be a 9mm Ruger chambered in 9mm Luger. Just saying.
Luger is real. Educate or google first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9×19mm_Parabellum
>>>9mm Luger:? 9mm Ruger?
Luger, as the story says — per the ECSO report.
9mm Luger:?
9mm Ruger?
8 grand bond? Jez.
Looks like he had a few reasons why he didn’t want to stop.
You shouldn’t judge a person by their appearance. You might miss out on meeting a great person.
Hopefully they will do what’s needed to determine the owner of the gun.
This guy looks like a criminal/Thug. I’m pretty sure he threw the gun behind the store. Hopefully his finger prints are found on it so that he will be charged with possession of a weapon. Lock him up
