Two Men Found Asleep Inside Running Car With Two Toddlers At Molino C-Store, ESCO Says

April 19, 2022

Two men were found at a Molino convenience store asleep in a vehicle that was in gear with two small children inside.

According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, 29-year old Attris Kenyata Kearbey of Pensacola was asleep at the wheel inside a 2009 Chevrolet Aveo in front of the Molino 1st Stop on Highway 95A at Molino Road about 7:20 p.m. Sunday. The vehicle was idling in drive with Kearbey’s foot on the brake. An unloaded pistol and a “large” knife was wedged between the driver’s seat and center console, according to an arrest report.

Jarvarez Charles Weaden, age 24 of Cantonment, was asleep in the back passenger seat, deputies said, with a bag containing three complete and eight partial Xanax pills.

The toddlers were safely removed from the vehicle.

Weaden (pictured right) was arrested at the scene and charged with two counts of felony child neglect and possession of a controlled substance. Kearby was transported to a local hospital before being arrested Sunday night on two felony counts of child neglect, failure to register a motor vehicle, driving with suspended or revoked license and a license plate violation.

The children were turned over to a responsible party whose name was redacted from the arrest report.

Kearbey remained in the Escambia County Jail Tuesday morning with bond set at $11,500. Weaden was released from jail Monday night on a $12,000 bond.

The Molino Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS responded to the scene.

    Be kind.

    Get the kids out of the car and let them Rest In Peace, excuse me, continue sleeping.

    No, we don’t really want people to die for every stupid thing they/we do, but it is fun to joke about.

    Had the dispatch listened to me the other day when I called when I seen him driving with the infant baby in his lap maybe this wouldn’t have happened???? Makes me furious they didn’t even take me seriously.. bless those babies if you have money for drugs and gas to ride around all night you have money for a car seat. Grow up and get your priorities straight.

    Prime example, you can’t fix “stupid”. Brut mama CAN use this against dead beat, poor excuse for a daddy to keep the babies OUT of his care. Bless those kid’s hearts. Thank you First Responders!

    Must have been daddy day. So sad that these innocent children are being exposed to a life of drug addictions at such an early age.
