Local Man Facing Multiple Charges After Fleeing Traffic Stop, Manhunt In Cantonment
January 7, 2020
A local man was arrested after fleeing from a traffic stop and a subsequent manhunt Monday night in Cantonment.
River Austin Sewell, 24, was charged with grand theft auto, fleeing and eluding, petit theft, resisting arrest and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, according to ECSO Maj. Andrew Hobbs.
An Escambia County deputy attempted a traffic stop on a stolen vehicle at Highway 29 and Muscogee Road, and the driver fled at a high rate of speed. The deputy deactivated his emergency lights and continued to follow the vehicle down Becks Lake Road before locating it on Elder Lane.
A passenger still in the vehicle told deputies that Sewell fled into a wooded area. K-9 units from the Escambia County Road Prison and Century Correctional Institution began to track Sewell.
Other deputies located Sewell wearing a pillowcase made into a t-shirt near Highway 29 at International Paper, according to Hobbs.
Sewell remained in the Escambia County Jail Tuesday with bond set at $13,000.

Another animal, and a product of the liberal courts, media and people who are so much smarter than everyone else. Have y’all ever noticed how much safer society was when law enforcement were allowed to do their jobs and were respected, when parents raised their own children and used a belt on the backside when needed, and when men dealt with thugs, crap, and predators.
That’s my boo . That’s my baby. Imma get him out . My codefendant
HaHa !
For some reason when I look at this mugshot….I hear banjo music and feel as if I should paddle my canoe a little faster…LOL
Everette that fashion style can be seen in any Walmart at anytime of the day…oh and the tattoo is befitting…the tears of a clown.
I reckon he thought wearing a pillowcase as a t-shirt would throw them off the track. Can we get a picture of the pillowcase? He may have inadvertently created a new fashion style that some folks will pay good money for.
thug life…
