Cantonment Man Charged With Destruction Of Evidence After Traffic Stop
April 1, 2022
A Cantonment man is facing a felony charge after allegedly swallowing evidence following a traffic stop.
William Austin Thomann, 24, was charged with felony destruction of evidence and resisting arrest.
An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy stopped Thomann on South County Road 97 near Britt Road after he was clocked at 67 mph in a 45 mph zone in his Nissan pickup truck.
He jumped out of the vehicle, closed and locked everything inside the vehicle, and consented to a search of his person. The deputy located a small plastic bag containing two pills in his pocket and gave commands for him to place his hands behind his back, according to an arrest report.
The Sheriff’s Office said Thomann disobeyed the commands and resisted, finally able to slip his hand into his pocket. He was able to grab the small plastic bag and swallow it, the report continues.
He remained in the Escambia County Jail Friday with bond set at $6,000.
One deputy received minor scratches during the incident but did not require medical treatment.

Looks like he tripped on the curb, lol. Bill, you need to rethink your life son.
How’d you like to “dig” through that evidence? Lol
What goes in…must come out. I had a patient, years ago, who swallowed a baggie of pills. Just had to wait for the “evidence” to make its way out! Happy ending.
@ SW
You beat me to it.
Law enforcement may now be waiting to see what comes out his other “end”! Plastic bags may not be digested well & the pills may still come out intact.
Taking out the trash
A slight scuffle insued!

According to the marks on his face it seems like they might have attempted to adjust his disobeying attitude…
Looks like him fall down.
