An Escambia County man that was selling drugs from a Highway 29 motel hotel room has been sentenced to 23 years in state prison.

On May 7, 2018, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Investigators served a search warrant at a hotel room at the Luxury Suites on Pensacola Boulevard.

LoL haha yeah.
Life not worth loosing 20 years …. I know its a easy game and they make a bunch doing it. But over all you live a terrible life and always looking over your back for trouble.
He’s a convicted career dealer with no moral conscience peddling that poison. With any luck he will be 62 when he walks out of prison. Only losers are the kids. Hopefully they are young enough that they wont remember the despicable acts of a so called father that made his living selling poison.
