Century Man Facing Charges After Allegedly Trying To Flush Drugs
August 27, 2022
A Century man is facing drug charges after he allegedly tried to flush drugs as deputies arrested him.
William Johnathan Hamilton, 31, was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell or distribute, tampering or attempting to destroy evidence, resisting without violence, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to 90 Hilltop Road to arrest Hamilton on an outstanding warrant from Santa Rosa County.
Deputies found him standing outside his mobile home. When told that he was under arrest, Hamilton snatched his arm away from a deputy and took off, running all the way through the mobile to a bathroom in the back, according to an arrest report. After a brief struggle, deputies were able to apprehend him at the toilet.
After he was cuffed, deputies observed a pill bottle and a plastic bag floating in the toilet. They also recovered a plastic bag with methamphetamine in his pants pocket. The pill bottle in the toilet contacted 43 combination hydrocodone-acetaminophen tablets, 10 alprazolam tablets and a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine.
He remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $29,500.

I know him and he really is a good person he just makes stupid choices sometimes so if u really don’t know what is going on just stay out of his business he did the crime now he’s doing the time so leave it at that
31 now. Time to grow out of the thug life. Not to late to turn your life around and make yourself proud. Good luck and prayers that you succeed. It’s a lot more fun on the right side of the law.
Had a guy just like this stole a bunch of Dewalt cordless tools and matabos from us. He shall meet his maker one day and I just hope he is ask for forgiveness and quit all his drugs by then.
Maybe they will get the rest of the scum off the streets
