Wanted Felon Arrested After Deputies Surround Cottage Hill Neighborhood
October 8, 2019
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office surrounded a Cottage Hill neighborhood Tuesday afternoon in an effort to take a convicted felon into custody.
Joseph Randall Bush, 36, was taken into custody on Williams Ditch Road about 4 p.m. on outstanding warrants for burglary, larceny, dealing in stolen property and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $205,000.
Maj. Andrew Hobbs said received information that Bush was at a location in the area, and he has a known tendency to flee from law enforcement. Deputies quickly surrounded the immediate area before Bush was taken into custody.
It was not immediately clear if Bush ran from deputies.
According to Escambia County Jail records, Bush was released September 1 after being arrested on drug possession, battery, kidnapping and criminal mischief charges.

the tattoos are not prison tats, they represent his parents who were both killed to drugs and alcohol not very far apart. thei initials are beside each tear.ive known him for a while
What a kook
The memories you have of Cottage hill sound very lovely.. hold onto those memories. Lots knows they are what keep a good name and not people like the people who have been giving Cottage Hill a bad rep lately. Thank you for sharing….
I grew up in Cottage Hill toward the East end of Williams Ditch Rd. it was so peaceful. my brothers and I had all the area to explore and hunt/fish. The Lamb farm is now a development and the fox holes are gone. Now there are two and four legged coyotes everywhere. I still have two sisters and a brother and many relatives there., It is hard to imagine the types od people in that area noe, I know that there are good folks there too. but the bad give them a sore eye. Tiptons grocery, Mrs Havards, the Post Office, and Cottage Hill schole are all gone. Rickmonns 66 is also gone. A crème soda and zero candy bare was always good on a hot day,
Tee bug they are prison tattoos
I’ve known this person for 15 years. Never did trust him. They should lock him up and throw away the key. He’s just never going to learn from his past crime.
A convicted felon still preying on society, put him in prison and keep him there until he is too old to remember his own name
Can anyone explain why the tattoos under the eyes and why the tear drop does this suppose to mean something and is it gang related all I know was that if I owned a business I wouldn’t hire this thigh if he was the last person on earth. Just sayin
THe Flower Family has been gone for years!
