ECSO: Drug Deal Goes Bad; Molino Man Drags Girl With His Pickup Truck
January 30, 2020
A $30 drug deal gone bad ended with a Molino man in jail after he allegedly dragged a girl with his pickup truck.
Trevor Hayes Ross, 20, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on charges of aggravated child abuse and robbery by sudden snatching.
The underage female met with Ross after arranging by phone to purchase marijuana from Ross. After they met, Ross handed her a cigarillo packet that she presumed contained the agreed upon quantity of marijuana. But when she opened the package, she found it to be empty, according to an arrest report.
Ross reached out of his truck and snatched $30 in cash from the girl. She tried get the cash back, but Ross started to drive away as she hung onto his GMC Sierra pickup, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.
She told deputies she was unable to let go and was dragged as he continued to accelerate, the report states. During the incident, she dropped her iPhone inside the cab of the truck. She then lost her grip and rolled on asphalt, sustaining multiple injuries. She was transported by Escambia County EMS to Sacred Heart Hospital for treatment.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was able to locate the truck at the Family Dollar at Blue Angel Parkway and Pine Forest Road by using the Find My Iphone app. The ECSO also received a call about the truck driving erratically. They were able to located the truck and take Ross into custody. The girl’s iPhone was located inside the truck.
Ross remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday with bond set at $52,500.

Adult male is legally accountable for doing business and consequences of said business with minor female. Happens quickly folks. Watch what you are doing. I’m sure neither party anticipated this financial and legal situation.
@Anarcho-capitalist
Are you serious about your statement?( If drugs were finally decriminalized, as they should be, we would see an immediate reduction in violent crimes) That statement has too be the craziest one I have read in a long time .Evidently you haven’t seen what drug addiction has done to individuals or families.
This is a perfect example of unintended consequences of government intervention. This incident of theft and violence and others are a direct effect of the government’s prohibition of drugs. If drugs were finally decriminalized, as they should be, we would see an immediate reduction in violent crimes, theft of property, and health related issues from drugs manufactured in an improperl manner or in unhealthy conditions.
Unnecessary violence created by government intervention. Drug prohibition was a ridiculous idea when it began and it’s even more ridiculous now that we’ve seen the effects of prohibition. It’s time for drugs to be decriminalized.
She was only trying to make a citizen’s arrest.
He will have plenty of time for reading. May I suggest Principles of Business.
@EnsleyBoy….
Trevor Ross, the suspect in this story was charged with “Strong Arm Robbery” a third degree felony and was given a $2500 bond. In addition he was charged with “Aggravated Child Abuse” due to the injuries of the minor received when he drug her with his truck. That charge is a First degree felony and the bond was $50,000.
The suspect who was involved in the traffic crash while fleeing from Deputies was charged with several crimes:
Fleeing from Law Enforcement w/Lights a& Siren activated – 3rd degree felony – $5000 bond;
Possession of a Controlled Substance w/o a prescription – 3rd degree felony – $5000 bond;
Evidence destroying – 3rd degree felony – $5000 bond;
No Valid Drivers License – 2nd degree misdemeanor – $1000 bond
Resisting arrest w/o violence – 1st degree misdemeanor – $1000 bond.
All of the bonds listed for both subjects were within range of the guidelines recommended by the State Attorneys Office.
I think the girl will get nothing because Law Enforcement didn’t catch all this in the act.
The story doesn’t state whether marijuana was found on either of them.
Does the girl get off free or will she be charged?
Wonder why his bond is higher than the guy who injured people by causing a wreck after fleeing from the police and not having a valid drivers license and having a drug not intended for him? Hmmm.
Underage girl(whatever the age is to buy drugs) and a half-baked cheap drug dealer……what could possibly go wrong with that? Folks, meet dumb and dumbette.
robbery by sudden snatching.?
She’ll be back on her feet and buying drugs in no time.
