Molino Man Busted On Drug And Weapons Charges Two Weeks After Prison Release
May 9, 2018
A Molino man was arrested on multiple felony charges after a traffic stop in Pensacola, just two weeks after he was released from prison.
About 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle at Creighton Road and Tippin Avenue. A Pensacola Police Department K-9 unit assisted in a vehicle search, reportedly finding 43 grams of methamphetamines, prescription drugs, a .40 caliber handgun, two magazines, 26 rounds of ammunition and digital scales.
Shawn Anderson, 32, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, methamphetamine trafficking, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning with bond set at $50,500.
Anderson was just released from prison on April 24, according to the Florida Department of Corrections, after completing an 18 month sentence on a methamphetamine charge. In November 2016, deputies found Anderson passed out at a Nine Mile Road Whataburger with a bag of meth in his lap.

Sam and Dan .. 100% agree on that one. Go catch killers and pedofiles. If these people want to kill themselves with drug I say let them go for it.
He just should have said I don’t want to leave Prison I like it here.
Climbed right back up on that horse.
@Charlotte—People are going to continue to rob banks, so I guess we should make that legal also?
I know how about we find our missing children like Danielle Belle who went missing when i was a child.
Shawn is still a good person. Life sucks these days
Drugs are here to stay. Aren’t our jails packed enough. When will we start aolving murders or catching rapists here in Escambia County?
Legalizing drugs is no better a solution to dishing out millions to house them. I dont want my son and daughter growing up in a society where amphetamines and opiates are legal. Addiction stems from poor quality of life. ie: loneliness, depression, poverty. etc.
This guy is a meth head, does anyone think that while he was jailed all of his meth head friends were busy cleaning up their act? His meth head friends probably set him up with his first hit of that poison right after he was released. Round up all of the poison peddlers/users put them all away for a very, very long time.
I really feel kind of sorry for these people that they got themselves into this mess it’s their own fault but I have been blessed I have never ever used an illegal drug and I have never ever abused a prescription drug I’ve been lucky that I was never in that type of environment. But I do know it is bad when drugs rule your life. People will do anything for that next fix.
David, I did not say what we should do for them. Some of the people making comments have some pretty good ideas
REGARDING:
“We must do something for all these people, in doing so we help everyone.”
We could give him all the meth he could use and the problem would soon sort itself out.
David for understanding how it is our fault
I’d like to suggest a barge anchored where shoreline cannot be seen, Issue each prisoner a fishing pole and water they will survive or they won’t. No bait provided. Hard time. Our prisons are a joke when compared to other countries. He was obviously supplied with a drug that protected him from withdrawal symptoms for his 18 months in prison and couldn’t live without that or more drugs on the outside.

It sure does. IT REQUIRES THE WILL TO QUIT! After detoxing… wherever… you do have a choice to pick it up again.
Why don’t we do this. People are going to do drugs. States are paying thousands and thousands, maybe millions of dollars paying people to fight people that do, sell, and use drugs. Tax payers are paying for that. I, myself, am sick and tired of it. It’s getting worse, in my opinion. Drug dealers and users are like flies. Get rid of one and fifty more show up. Why not make it legal. Tax it like you do everything else. Save the tax payers money, most of these stupid people will OD and die, so again, saving tax payers money. Only cost would be a wooden box and a place to bury them, which is a lot less costly then being in jail and the court system. cause they won’t be going to jail, or using up our court systems and what ever else that cost money. Saving tax people’s money. Just saying.
It’s not a drug problem. It’s a God problem. There is a God shaped place in our soul that only He can satisfy. When people get high or drunk that’s the spot they are trying to fill. I’m speaking from experience. In this utopia that we live they have excluded the most important person, He said I am the Truth and the Life.
Very sad, we are becoming a society of dope fiends. We must do something for all these people, in doing so we help everyone.
maybe he just missed his buddies on the other side of the fence and wanted to go back for a visit? Some folks just refuse to learn. Buh-BYE!
This one hasn’t learned nothing yet .so now give him another chance at jail time try 30 years this time no early release all of it !!!!!!!!
Stupid is as Stupid does. He’s headed back home.
18 months in prison was obviously not enough. How about life without parole?
You cannot help people like this unfortunately.
Would that be called a Two Time Loser?
This will make it harder to get his voting rights back in time for the 2018 general election.
David for better voters
You can’t change a criminal.
Oops, back to the slammer. Like Forrest said, “stupid is as stupid does.”
Parents and family is not to blame for what a adult does.these new reports areEmbarrassing to the families
If anybody thinks punishing the taxpayers by putting addicts in jail, they are wrong. I get the firearm charge, but the truth is that drug addiction requires something more than just housing folks on the taxpayer dime. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The drug war has failed as this person just cost the taxpayers close to a hundred thousand dollars for his 18 month prison term, and back he goes as the merry go round does not stop until taxpayers say enough and seek real solutions to drug addiction.
