17 Arrested In Escambia County Drug Raid

December 4, 2020

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrested 17 people Thursday on drug charges after raiding a home near Montclair Elementary School.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Gun Crime Response Team, Robbery/Homicide Unit, Narcotics Unit and SWAT team along with the ATF, Florida Highway Patrol, and Pensacola Police Department served a search warrant at a home in the 4500 block of Florelle Way.

Inside the home law enforcement discovered 12.6 grams of oxycodone, 228.8 grams of ecstasy pills, one gram of heroin, almost half a kilo of cocaine, 3.3 pounds of marijuana, ten firearms (including four firearms that were reported stolen) $21,389 in cash, and seven vehicles were seized.

Terry Vondell Brand, Billy Ray Carter, Darrell Anthony Diggs, Timothy Terrell Dortch, Tyshon Laprice Leontay Edwards, Kobie Lashun Jenkins, De’Aundre Da’Jun Jordan, Timothy Donail Knight, Gary Fernando Mathis, Nastassya Swayell Piper, Charles Edward Posey, Travaris Jamal Stallworth, Anthony Dion Thompson, Kareem Tijuan Watson, James Wells, Devontae Le’roy Williams and Trenton Levontese Wright were all arrested on drug related charges.

“It’s unfortunate to see this amount of drugs and firearms together. We’re glad we can partner with other law enforcement agencies to get this type of criminal activity off of our streets,” said Chief Deputy and sheriff-elect Chip Simmons.

    need COP back in into our society. Community Oriented Policing also involves the community leadership. Also some of the kids can be turned around. Not much of a chance at anything here in this county concerning education and employment.

    >It says Darrell Diggs was born in 2004…my math is pretty bad but that would make him a minor. There has to be a typo here because even I know you can’t post pictures of minors.

    The names, photos and other information of a minor charged with a felony in Florida is public record. So, yes, you can post the mugshot of a minor.

    To jr….second chances. Most of them have been arrested more than once and some 7, 10, 12,….times. they are grown and make their bed. Yea let’s let them have more chances so more can end up dead like what happened in century this week. The parents better start waking up and teaching their children right from wrong! What is wrong with the familes these days?

    They could have just been child predators and only got 5 years…the war on drugs is a failure

    to the person that says lock them up and throw away the key….most of these fellas are children still. everyone deserves a 2nd chance.
    the problem is the mainstream ideas that are prevalent to the young black man in society about drugs and guns and money. the culture needs to change. did you know when the Cosby show was on air many more black men graduated high school and went on to post secondary education?
    im not sure what i can do about it because i dont own a huge media company, but i will pray for these young men to find Jesus and turn their lives around

    Now I know why the Escambia jail website listed the bond at $500,000. for the charge of Public Order Crimes.
    Unfortunately this is happening near an elementary school of all places.
