Escambia Man Convicted On Drug Trafficking Charges
April 13, 2022
An Escambia County man has been convicted on drug trafficking charges.
Daryl Leroy Hayes, Jr. was found guilty by an Escambia County jury of trafficking in fentanyl (28 grams or more), trafficking in methamphetamine (more than 200 grams), selling cocaine, fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer at high speed, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hayes faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years when he is sentenced next month by Judge Linda Nobles.
On April 17, 2021, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a car driven by Hayes. When lights and sirens were activated, Hayes fled in the car at a high rate of speed. When he eventually stopped, he fled on foot with a backpack full of a trafficking amount of fentanyl and methamphetamine, according to court testimony. Cocaine, oxycodone, MDMA, spice, and a firearm were also located by deputies after Hayes’ arrest.

It is sad that people think he should get a break. The first time maybe but this is not that. Also he did not have small weight. I don’t want another person in jail but what do you allow. How long..
Unfortunately, Pharmaceuticals are drug dealers too. People suffer and/or die from the side effects of prescription drugs and receive compensation for being used as guinea pigs. Yeah, let’s arrest the street dealers while the bigger & the biggest drug dealers receive slap on the wrist !!!
The amount of fentanyl he had can kill over 17 thousand people.
That’s not the best constructive, alternative. To help educate, and instill more concrete foundations for our youth.Our leaders whom reside strategic plans aren’t spirituality effective. Nor are they demanding strict moral requirements. Leananatcy is applicable. But requirements in each household isn’t profeventcy not forced.. Educated avoids illiteracy. Ignorance is uneducated. Leave less immoral accessible options.. That appears to easily atttanible. Not taught leaves to the streets teaching the Lost.Gid Bless IJN-AMEN
So sad this happened to another young man
@Bartender says the biggest drug dealer of them all. Are you the pot or the kettle?
It’s said that this is so close to home.. as a recovering addict it makes me sick knowing people know what these drugs do and still push them. But I’m praying for both sides it’s hard to get out of a lifestyle that has always been shown as right. I hope he finds God in his dark Times.
He is directly responsible for the misery of many, he peddles poison. Mandatory 25 years is a good start…
So wonderful.another drug dealer off the street.
