An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office manhunt in the Molino area was called off Tuesday afternoon with no arrest.

A suspect wanted on a violation of probation warrant fled from deputies in the area of Highway 95A and Highway 196 about 1 p.m. Deputies set up a perimeter in the area and K-9 units were called to assist  in the search.

The ECSO did not release the name of the suspect or any description.

    As the great Merle Haggard sang:
    “I’d like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am
    But they won’t let my secret go untold
    I paid the debt I owed them, but they’re still not satisfied
    Now I’m a branded man out in the cold’

    However, the “debt” isn’t considered paid until after probation has been satisfied. And it’s hard to be proud of who you are if you have done something which causes you to need to dodge law enforcement officials.

    David for clear conscience

    Probably a failure to appear or traffic warrant. They’ll get em next time with a new charge.

    At this moment in time, nothing short of positive comments on our Sheriff Dept and other armed forces seem fit. They probably don’t know which way to turn anymore without getting a hand slapped or public outcry! If all the whining butts at home and in the streets would just zip their mouths for awhile!

    To oversight… You speak about things you dont know anything about. But yet you can be critical of what is happening.
    There are MANY reasons why there was no name given. Community support goes both ways. They will HIDE the person or do something foolish like try to get the the person themselves.
    Your lack of trust must come from something other than facts.

    Active warrants and a manhunt, you don’t say? No description or name of the wanted individual. Doesn’t seem like the sheriff or his posse want any community support in apprehending this person. Give the public a chance to assist… But law enforcement in general doesn’t understand why the community doesn’t trust them. SMH.
