Cantonment Man Tased During Traffic Stop, Charged With Two Felonies
January 24, 2019
A Cantonment man tased by Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies during a traffic stop is facing two felony charges.
Dalan Lamar Beasley, 29, was charged with felony trafficking in methamphetamine, resisting an officer with violence and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
Deputies in an unmarked vehicle conducted a traffic stop January 18 on a Dodge Dart driven by a female on West Hope Drive, near I-10 and Highway 29, due to a tint violation.
When Beasley exited the passenger side of the vehicle, he did not comply with multiple orders from the deputies, according to an arrest report. Instead, he struggled against deputies and placed his hand down his pants. As he continued to “violently resist” he was tased before being taken into custody.
During a search, deputies found a bag containing methamphetamine in Beasley’s groin area. Inside they car, they found a marijuana cigarette.
Beasley was booking into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $66,000.
The female driver received warnings for a window tint violation and improperly wearing a seat belt.

@Charlie,
That’s easier said than done. I have a 30 year old felony conviction for a bad check that was paid BEFORE I was ever even arrested. I’ve been fighting to have it expunged for that very reason ever since, but the only response I ever receive is to try again in the future. Go figure.
Former do wronger—I guess the very simple solution would be not commit a Felony no matter how minor you may think it is. I would like to think that people can still tell the difference between right & wrong?
Former do wronged, did you not see that he had meth and resisted with violence!!
Not making excuses but there is a deeper problem alot of us are given felony charges as young adults or juveniles for Marijuana or non violent crimes are then forced to continue down the same path of decions because unless you have a friend of family member nobody wants to hire a convicted felon sure they say they hire on application but unless you have seen the looks when asked that question in a interview you have no idea how hard it can be to get on the straight and narrow path when you have a family to feed
People who need the least attention, often draw the most attention to themselves. Meth trafficking seat belt violation and tinted windows are a bad match and obviously clash.
Great job ECSO Deputies.
Marijuana is the gateway drug that starts it all.
