A Cantonment woman stands accused of multiple felonies for allegedly stealing jewelry and other items from her mother and prescription narcotics from her father.

Kerri Ann Horton, 37, was charged with grand theft, grand theft of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, and larceny of a credit card.

After the items were reported missing, Horton was located by an Escambia County deputy as she walked on Muscogee Road near International Paper.

In her purse, deputies said she had 14 Tramadol pills and 11 Clonidine pills.

Horton remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $8,000.

    Sometimes, the neighborhood bad seed , just is and was a bad seed before they left home. Cut the umbilical cord and was your hands of the rubbish or take out a third mortgage and pay her Dope boy…. Junkies will always be junkies…
    Let her heal on her own or pay for her drugs.

    Sometimes a parent must confront the cold hard fact, that their offspring is simply a bad seed. Nothing personal.

    Lock her up and put her to work cleaning our roads and parks.

    @concerned parent
    You can not force help a drug addict. If they are not ready to be clean no amount of counseling or treatment will work. Yes she needs help, but she has to seek it out.

    So much for blood being thicker than water – a good rehab program is several months of hard labor in prison – sweat that poison out of her system and will also give her time to reflect on how to treat your parents.

    Drug addicts is very common all over the world. They need to find out what caused them to resort to drugs. It is very easy to become an addict. It can creep up on you . Instead of downing her what you should be doing is Praying for these people. Everyone has skeltons in there closet. People dont need to spend time in jail. They should change the law. For everyone that gets arrested fir drugs should be given a drug test by hair too see how long they been on drugs. In automatically send them to an in-patient program for length of time they have been using

    Looking at the photo and seeing sores and scratches on her face—- you are looking at the face of a meth head. Very little hope for this young woman.

    Sores on her face tell the whole story.

    This is not uncommon anymore. And it’s probably been ongoing for this family for years. But the parents decided to do something about it this time.. I’m guessing. Bc I personally know several situations where the ” child” or ” grandchild” steals, robs, lies and monipulates everybody around them , and they are excused and defended. So the behavior is only gonna get worse! If action is taken THE FIRST TIME, then most of these adults

    I Lived Down The Street From Keri, It’s A Shame That She Done This To Her Parents.. They’ve Done Nothen But Do The Very Best For Her.. From Buying A Her House.. An Also Taking Her Abuse.. Addiction Takes The Soul Right Out Of You.. I Hope She’s Gets The Help She Needs.

    Clonidine is a blood pressure medicine, someone might think they are high if they take it, due to the blood pressure drop, I dunno. I wonder about the ammo, what good is it with no gun? I hope the parents waste no time asking themselves where they failed, a child turns 18 and goes off on their own and it is out of the parents hands what the child gets into. thirty seven is a long way from a child, but i’m sure many people know a similar type person, right here in this area. funny how some people like this slip thru the cracks and get away with all manner of things, leaving others to pay for the damage they cause, never getting in any trouble or spending a day in jail. :(

    She was going shopping for Mother’s Day. How sad.

    Clever way to say ‘Thanks Mom and Dad’ by stealing from them! People are just sad.
