Cantonment Man Flees From Deputies; ‘Every Time He Is Stopped By Law Enforcement, He Is Arrested’

September 17, 2019

A Cantonment man is facing multiple charges after fleeing from a traffic stop in Cantonment, telling them that he gets arrested every time he is stopped.

Marvin DeWayne Cooks, 45, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, resisting a law enforcement officer, fleeing an eluding and driving with a suspended license.

An Escambia County deputy confirmed Cooks had a suspended license and observed him drive out of the parking lot of the Tom Thumb on Highway 29 at Woodbury Circle.

The deputy activated his lights and siren, but Cooks failed to stop. He instead drove to a residence about three miles away on Cedar Street, where he ignored the deputy’s orders, exited the vehicle and walked into the residence, according to an arrest report. After Cooks returned outside, he was placed under arrest.

According to the arrest report, “Cooks advised every time he is stopped by law enforcement, he is arrested.” Cooks also told deputies that he thought the residence would be a safer place to stop.

Deputies discovered a small, white rock-like substance on Cooks that field tested positive for cocaine after his arrest.

    I am wondering how stupid you have to be to walk in the house, then come back out with the drugs still in your pocket.
