Charges Dropped Against Molino Man Accused Of Drug Trafficking
October 1, 2018
Charges have been dropped against a Molino man arrested for drug trafficking after a traffic stop.
There was insufficient evidence against John Homer Docherty to try him on charges of trafficking methamphetamine and two counts of possession a controlled substance without a prescription, according to the State Attorney’s Office.
An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle with a passenger brake light out on W Street in Pensacola. Docherty was a passenger in the car, and a K-9 alerted on the vehicle. Deputies recovered a total of 27.1 grams of meth from under the passenger seat and glove box, according to an arrest report. Deputies also reported finding 1.5 tables of Xanax and two Oxycodone tablets.
The driver was issued a citation for no seat belt.

Do you folks even read the article, or just comment on the story headline ? As William pointed out to Bewildered, “charges dropped”.
So I’ll say to @Rick, no, they don’t have charges on the driver and clearly never did evidenced by the last sentence in the story. “The driver was issued a citation for no seatbelt”.
As for Docherty himself. Make some changes to your life or you’ll be back in jail. Again.
He was a passenger. They probably still have charges on the driver
It’s refreshing when a news sources publishes a follow up such as this. John Homer Docherty for one is appreciative. That said, while everyone may be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, an arrest record is forever
>>>Are the charges dismissed or plead down to possession of controlled substance?
It clearly says dropped.
Are the charges dismissed or plead down to possession of controlled substance? C
