Cantonment Man With No Driver’s License Charged With Fleeing From Deputies
December 28, 2019
A Cantonment man is facing charges after allegedly fleeing from a traffic stop and drug possession.
Thomas Devontae Jackson, 27, was booked into the Escambia County Jail for fleeing and eluding, driving while license suspended and possession of marijuana under 20 grams.
Jackson’s arrest came after an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office spotted him not wearing his seatbelt near Clifton Avenue and Lucerne Avenue in Pensacola. The deputy attempted a traffic stop, but Jackson fled. After terminating the traffic stop, the deputy eventually located the vehicle stationary on Armenia Drive. He located Jackson, who he recognized from the attempted traffic stop, outside a residence in the area, according to an arrest report.
The deputy reported finding a small bag of marijuana in Jackson’s pocket.
Jackson was released from jail on a $4,500 bond.

with a suspended license he probably does not have insurance on the car either. Just happy, go lucky bumming around! No matter how high their bond amount, they always have enough to get out! Go figure…,
Sitting here shaking my head and thinking how Very Frustrating it must be for our LEO to make a legitimate arrest and then before the ink is dry on the paperwork the “suspect” is already on the way home.
State mandated bonds and costs are meaningless for most of the “alleged” bad girls and boys. Almost a game as they know the system is a revolving door in many cases.
Feeling the burn for our dedicated LEO’s.
Keep up the great work and efforts on our part, Please.
God Bless and Protect all who Serve.
The consequence of the charges and arrest means nothing to him…he will be driving again tomorrow…
The going rate for bond is $4,500.00 for these charges
For threat and pointing a pistol out a window of a car -2 felonies is $1,000.00
What is wrong with this picture
Pedicord was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $1,000 bond
Jackson has a higher bond (4,500) than someone pointing a gun at a person?????????????????
Good stop.
