Cantonment Manhunt Suspect Now Behind Bars
December 1, 2018
A suspect that led police on a lengthy manhunt and caused two Cantonment schools to be placed on lockdown is now behind bars.
Jordon Dominique King, 19, was arrested late Friday night at a motel on Highway 29 in Pensacola. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond just before midnight.
At the time of his arrest, King was in possession of a stolen vehicle, according to Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Major Andrew Hobbs.
He is facing long list of charges, including multiple counts of vehicle theft, multiple counts of burglary, multiple counts of resisting arrest, reckless driving, operating a motor vehicle without a valid license and failure to appear.
A manhunt for King lasted several hours Thursday in the area of Kingsfield Road and Highway 297A. The manhunt led to the lockdown of Kingsfield Elementary and Ransom Middle schools as deputies searched the area.

The good news is he is off the streets. In reference to the comment that he will be out soon is wrong. Although we all pretty much know that he is guilty of the crimes, it is important that all the procedures be followed so that he can’t get off on a technicality. This young man created havoc in my neighborhood a few weeks ago and in the end justice will be served. Maybe, just maybe a term in prison will show him that crime does not pay and maybe he will come out and be a responsible citizen. MAYBE!
They might get away a few times but they would have to get away every single time to win… we only have to win once and they are in jail.
LEOs are always going to win in the end.
He’ll be out soon. Then, he’ll do it again and again, until he kills someone. I have a suggestion….put him in prison now, and save a life.
There were so many other choices this young man could have made after many opportunities to change his life. Very sad situation for all concerned
Go ahead and transfer to state prison…
