Cantonment Couple Charged With Smuggling Meth Into Road Prison
January 23, 2019
A Cantonment couple with a history of crime together is facing more charges — this time for allegedly smuggling meth into the county road prison.
Robert Clinton Wooten, 37, and Camie Denean Linton, 36, were charged with smuggling methamphetamine into a detention facility.
The Escambia County Road Prison and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit teamed up to arrest the couple. Wooten was an inmate at the Escambia County Road Prison in Cantonment and was ” orchestrating the delivery of methamphetamines to other inmates” with the help of Linton according to a statement released by the Sheriff’s Office.
Both are now being held without bond.
December Child Neglect Arrest
In December, both Wooten and Linton were each charged with two counts of felony child abuse after the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office conducted a welfare check on their residence at the request of the Department of Children and Families.
Deputies found “a deplorable residence with black mold on the ceiling and walls,” according to a Sheriff’s Office report. They also found cans of rotting food with insects, floors completely covered with piles of clothing and trash, food containers with flying insects inside, and a syringe in a Styrofoam cup that was covered with spider webs, according to the report. The electricity did not work in parts of the residence.
The children’s grandmother told deputies that the children did not have any food and would beg her to bring them food.
DCF took custody of the children and placed them with another family member.
Wooten and Linton are awaiting trial on the child neglect charges.
December Traffic Stop
On December 12, deputies were patrolling the area of Pace Parkway and Mintz Lane when they spotted a vehicle driven by Wooten who was known not to possess a driver’s license. Linton was also in the vehicle, according to an arrest report, and her book bag was found to contain four syringes with an unknown red liquid, a plastic bag with a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine and a bowl that contained methamphetamine.
Linton was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Wooten was charged with habitual driving with a suspended license. They are awaiting trial on the charges.
Jim Allen Elementary Meth Charges
In 2017, Wooten and Linton were charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia after they were spotted by a deputy turning into Jim Allen Elementary School to drop off a child. After the child was dropped off and they exited the campus, the deputy conducted a traffic stop.
A search of the vehicle revealed drug paraphernalia, methamphetamine and other items in the center console. Wooten received 36 months probation in the case. Charges against Linton were later dropped.
Wooten is now facing an additional violation of probation charge in the case.

This pair really should be put away for a long time. Pray for the children that they will be taken care of.
I hope they lose there kids forever. No kids should be put through this. DCF let the Grandmother keep there kids. Hope the courts let these people walk. If they work for the police and still do drugs shame on the police. You cant even trust the law
I KNOW THEM ALL !! DCF FAILED THE KIDS MORE THEN ONCE. THE GRANDMOTHER HAS FOUGHT FOR THEM FOR YEARS. Grandparents have no rights in the state of Florida , that law needs to be changed !! Look how many parents are taking care of there grandchildren without the states knowledge. I hope they never get the boys back !!
Enough is enough already. They need prison and they need help .. Rhodes kids need to be raised up in a good home
REALLY???
Will you two EVER learn that your kids and having a life is so much more important than drugs… Look at where it has got you two – you two once had a life!!! My heart breaks for those two boys but they are finally getting a chance – thanks to a WONDERFUL, LOVING Grandmother that does care!!! Now hopefully, you two will suffer and do some serious time for all of your stunts.
This is very common, the deputy does his job of arresting these people, making a case, doing all the paperwork and turns around and they are back on the street, committing another crime. And the cycle continues.
They need to be sent to prison. Their not going to change unless they are put there for a long time. Meth is a powerful drug for people with addictive personalities. I know the mother of this young lady and I pray she has the children. She adores them. Hopefully the judge in this case will put them away so they can hopefully learn their lesson and get drug free !
I am not talking bad about anyone but do you see a pattern here and they just keep on getting away with it that goes to show our justice system failed again but the kids should have been taken the first time and maybe it wouldn’t have come to this . They was dropping off a child at school and got busted for meth the CPS and cops should have done a welfare check then just saying
Unfortunately, this is what happens when your addiction becomes more important than the other things in your life.
…amen to what Jerry said
.they should never get those kids back..never..
This proves you cant fix stupid.
Adios
Must be love…rolling my eyes!!!
Road prison is not the answer, state prison for both is. The children involved would never be safe and already having been traumatized by these sorry excuses has caused irreparable harm. Society will be better off when these specimens are behind bars for a long time .
