Man Facing Drug Charges After Fleeing From Deputy In Cantonment

May 28, 2019

A Flomaton man was arrested on multiple drug charges after allegedly fleeing from deputies in Cantonment.

Toney Maurice Harrison, 21, was charged with trafficking MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy), possession of marijuana, resisting a law enforcement officer and fleeing and eluding from law enforcement.

An Escambia County deputy  attempted to stop a Nissan Altima driven by Harrison on Highway 29 near Woodbury Circle. The deputy, with lights and siren activated, followed the vehicle north on Highway 29 to Highway 95A. The vehicle did not stop until it neared the intersection of Eden Lane and Highway 95A.

Because the deputy could not see the driver due to the dark window tint, he approached with his firearm drawn. As he approached the driver’s door, he reported smelling a strong odor of marijuana. Harrison refused to exit the vehicle, forcing the deputy to grab his shirt and pull him out, according to an arrest report.

A search of the vehicle revealed 20.4 grams of ecstasy pills, marijuana and $254 in cash, the report states.

Harrison also received a citation for window tint violation; deputies tested the window tint at 19%, below the legal limit of 28%.

Harrison was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $32,000 bond.
