    No wonder we have a problem with crime like we do. Here in Escambia County you can do almost anything and get a bond such as his. The amount of that dangerous drug and he only gets 32,000 bond. Lol, he had enough money in his pocket to get out.. Yes, before someone says that the ECSO took the money just underatand what I mean if he had that amount in his pocket then he has plenty more.

    Let this peddler of poison out? 1.5 lbs. of poison and he’s walking the streets. Made bail with drug proceeds. Sickening.
