Cantonment Man Caught With Stolen SUV And Meth, ECSO Says
October 28, 2022
A Cantonment man was allegedly caught with a stolen vehicle and methamphetamine, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Jesse Allen Geoghahan, 26, was charged with grand theft of a vehicle and possession of a controlled substance, both felonies. He was released on a $5,000 bond.
Wednesday, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Circle K at Nine Mile Road and Pine Forest road in reference to a reported DUI driver that was weaving in and out of lanes and almost striking several vehicles. Deputies caught up with Geoghahan at the fountain drink machine inside the store.
When deputies asked Geoghahan about the white GMC Yukon he was driving, he stated that he recently purchased it “from some guy” at a Muscogee Road convenience store for $800 as a trade for an ATV he was riding.
After Geoghahan was handcuffed, deputies reported locating the Yukon keys and two bags containing a total of 9.22 grams of methamphetamine in his pockets.
The vehicle had been reported stolen from West Lee Street on October 16.

@ Just starting the obvious
It appears someone didnt get paid for the meth.
So thus your defense?
Just Starting. It appears youre on your way to being a Defense Attorney, all you need is 12 jurors who think like you. Are You gonna believe me or yor lying eyes?
Just starting …………….. You have nothing to base your comment on other than what was printed here. Cops dont just arrest someone because they can. And I am sure the driver of that stolen vehicle was him and they had many witnessses to say so. Or they watched him get out of the drivers side of the vehicle and go inside. By the time they figured out it was stolen He was making a drink….
You base strong opinions on NOTHING so… Watch what you post about false arrest…
@just starting, it would seem that your buddy’s crimes actually date back several years so he is in fact NOT just starting. He’s a seasoned veteran of the CJ system and that’s just for the things he’s been caught for. No telling how much he’s done that isn’t documented. My only problem with a frequent flyer like this is the nominal bail money they need to post to walk right back out the door faster than the LEO’s can get the paperwork completed. This guy needs to go away for more than just a few months as it’s become the norm for him. He needs a few YEARS.
He was released from State Prison on 6/4/22, after serving a 3 year sentence. The 3-year sentence was imposed after he violated his Community Control with-in two weeks of being sentenced.
It appears he is going to be a life-long thug. Do society a favor and send him back to prison on the 5-year plan this time.
To “Just Starting”— Aren’t you glad that you live in America where you can freely express your opinions and thoughts- even if they are ridiculous? (God Bless America!)
Our LEOs collect the trash, the weak prosecutors and judges throw them back on the streets.
26 year old think he is a bad boy thug. Hopefully, before too late he can receive positive direction in life.
Hmm, I’m not expert but it doesn’t take one to see that something with this isn’t right.He was at the drink fountain not in the car. So how exactly can it be proven he was driving. Just some quick research on the laws can tell you this will have to be thrown out. Both charges. He’s been falsely arrested numerous times. Not sure why he can even be charged with a vehicle being stolen when he paid for it honest and agaimWASNT behind the wheel. I’m sure he wasn’t read his Miranda rights seems pike the cops forget about those these days. Maybe if they would go after people shooting houses and stuff up this town would change
Greatly appreciate the concerned citizen that reported this guys driving. Don’t appreciate the low bond though.
Meth, the Witches brew. It can turn anyone from a nice clean cut young man into a dirt bag moron in a second. Seems like that would stop people from doing it.
Here this fella is once again…this one isn’t one isn’t going to change. To be this young and have a rap sheet like he does shows that he has no regards for the law and needs to do some serious prison time. Most people get to an age and grow up but I reckon this one likes this life of crime and drug abuse…keep him locked up and thank you Escambia Deputies for getting this one off the streets, AGAIN!
How about keeping these nut jobs in jail for a mandatory 5 days. At least they won’t be out on the streets endangering the lives of the rest of us. If the laws need to be changed, then let’s get them changed. This is not New York or California where the criminals are running the show.
