    “Why do you only publish the statement the alleged victim said happened instead of the whole report”

    The story covers all of the information in the arrest report.

    @J.Larry Seale,

    He’s not a transplant, lol. He’s been here for well over 40 years, since the early 1980s. Sorry to disappoint you, but he’s homegrown.

    This is just another sample of the type
    of people who have moved into this area.
    Both Pensacola and Escambia county has
    server as a magnet people
    who don’t respect the law and think they are
    above the law.
    it will only getting worse as time goes by.
    This use to be a quite and peaceful area….
    NEVER MORE……………………….
