Cantonment Man Facing Charges After Highway 29 Drug Raid

October 2, 2020

A Cantonment man is facing felony drug and weapons charges after a drug raid at a Highway 29 residence Thursday afternoon.

Ashley Gavin Sticken, 23, was charged with drug trafficking, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit and SWAT team executed a search warrant in the 800 block of South Highway 29, just north of Archer Road. A search of the premises located several types of narcotics and  firearms, according to ECSO Maj. Andrew Hobbs. Sticken was taken into custody after the raid.

According to an arrest report, authorities located a 9mm handgun with a loaded magazine, a .45 caliber firearm with ammunition, a ballistic vest, 72.8 grams of marijuana, 27.4 grams of THC wax, 62.9 grams of Xanax pills, digital scales, a quantity of ecstasy pills, 0.3 grams of LSD strips and $580 in cash.

Sticken’s wife told deputies that her husband deals narcotics to friends from the house, selling to them as they drive up outside the home.

Sticken remained in the Escambia County Jail Friday morning with bond set at $117,500.

    You’d have to lock up 1000 of these guys to put a dent in the drug problem in Cantonment these days. Addicts wandering the streets all day every day (and yes, they are wandering in the literal street because Cantonment obviously has some moratorium on building any sidewalks, no matter how many people get hit by cars).

    Free Gavin? Really?! If he wasn’t a dope dealing, dope using, multiple time arrested felon maybe he’d be “free”. He knew what he was doing, he also knew the consequences from it. Free Gavin would be free today had he decided the LAST time he got popped to change his way of doing things. No pity, no mercy from here.
