Cantonment Man Charged With Drug, Weapon Offenses

October 21, 2021

A Cantonment  man was charged with drug and weapon offenses after the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report at a Circle K.

James Douglas Snow, 61, was charged with possession of a control substance and possession of weapon while in the commission of a felony.

Snow was arrested this week on outstanding warrants for the incident that occurred July 20.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to South Gulf Manor and Michigan Avenue for a man reported down. They arrived to find Snow slumped over the wheel in a Circle K parking lot, but he was alert and conscious, according to an arrest report. He told deputies he was napping after a long day of work at the convenience store.

A deputy was able to see a pill bottle in plain view on top of the center console of the pickup truck. He asked to see the bottle, and Snow willing provided the bottle, which contained 19, .22 caliber bullets, the report states.

An ECSO K-9 responded and alerted on the vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed 2.9 grams of methamphetamine, three hydrocodone pills, a bag containing an unspecified amount of marijuana and a Walter .22 caliber handgun with an eight-round magazine and one round in the chamber, the ECSO said.

    These stories always bring out the hypocrites in the comment section, people who pretend they live perfect lives while pointing fingers at others, some do it while calling themselves Christians. Those who stand in judgment of this man should stop pretending that they know what went wrong in his life, you’re not him and haven’t walked in his shoes!!!! It’s easy to stand in judgment while sitting on the outside. With only tiny fragments of the whole story.

    This report by North Escambia was based on information provided obviously by the ECSD and the facts have been altered to say the lease I know the true story as does Mr Snow and the ECSD. It doesn’t change the fact that laws were broken, but it does change the way people the trust in the ECSO. Everyone should remember there is a very large and very new jail in this county that needs to be paid for.

    @Carolyn Bramblett, James and the common law wife to which you refer, they were never married.

    It seems as though after thirty years together, the wife left James for a younger man, that is when his life began it’s spiral.

    I wish James a good road to recovery.

    There is no sad story here. He made bad decisions his whole adult life. He was raised well, had a wife, two daughters—and a criminal record. This is his own making.

    Thinking—-that every young person should see this picture of what drugs and hard living can do to a person. This man is only 61 years old. I am sure he has a sad story but it is a shame that people do not understand what a life style of this nature can do to your health, looks, and mind. May God bless this man and others who get involved with drugs and help them to get help that they really don’t realize they need until it is too late.
