Man Charged With Drug And Weapons Offenses; Woman Accused Of Running A Drug House
December 13, 2022
An Escambia County man is facing multiple drug and weapons charges, and a Cantonment woman is charged with running a drug house, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at a home on Niall Drive, just off Frank Reeder Road on November 10.
They reported finding:
- 1,496 grams (about 3.3 pounds) of marijuana
- approximately 15.4 grams of Oxycodone pills
- loaded Ruger pistol, and a “AR-15 style rifle/pistol”,
- ammunition
- $21,080 in cash
Brandon Martez Black, 24, was charged with possession of a weapon or ammo by a convicted felon, possession of an armor piercing bullet while committing a felony, trafficking in oxycodone, possession or marijuana with the intent to distribute, and using or displaying a firearm during a felony. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail Monday evening with bond set at $115,000.
Jacarla Sha’Kiyah Purifoy, 25, was charged with keeping a public nuisance structure for drug activity. She was released from jail on a $15,000 bond.
“It is apparent she (Purifoy) is aware of the narcotics that are being sold from her home and her vehicle and allowing (the second suspect) to continue to do so,” an arrest report states. Additionally, deputies reported finding photos and videos on her phone showing marijuana being smoked in the home and large quantities of cash on the countertops.

I have lived in Beulah since 1949.
There were drugs here then…Tripping on acid, smoking opium, snorting cocaine, using psychedelic mushrooms,..shall I continue?
There is not,never has been,never will be a community that is impervious to drugs.
You are very disalusional to think otherwise.
Just like in the Kennedy years…rampant drug use.
Dont tell me the farm boys here didnt visit the cow pastures and pick the mushrooms,for eating and making tea.
Lets not forget the hash back then either.
I arrested my fair share of those users you say wasnt here.Many arrested and sent to prison over and over, courtesy of Judge Tarbuck.
Your thinking Beulah residents back then only drank sweetened kool-aid and sweet tea.
100% wrong sir
Man, that’s a lot of hustling to make 21k on weed nowadays even adding in oxys on the side. Being a drug dealer today and slinging weed just proves how ignorant you are, there is absolutely no money in weed anymore unless you are moving pounds (more than 3 pounds) and doing it legally. Street weed is just not worth the risk of getting caught, the oxy’s are a big no too, you can get a few years just for one pill.
Wise up and start thinking about legal drug dealing which is easy to get into.
I’m glad these two have been arrested for their crimes. Thank you to our awesome Sheriff’s Office. Good job!!!
Mr. Metoo, when we moved out here in 1966, there were no such drugs present like the mile long list of today. Beulah was a quiet close knit community and the trash didn’t lay around here! That’s when we were proud to call this home!
Drugs have been in Beulah. So have sexual predators, molesters, and predators. Before we called them family.You thought you knew your neighbors.
I believe the ECSD is doing all they can !!! The people in today’s society simply don’t care about you or themselves!!! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but here it is anyway ITS GONNA GET WORSE!!!!!
Coming to your neighborhood soon!!! Like it or not…. You can’t move “north of the interstate” or “S.R. County” any longer to get away
The County Commission wonders why citizens come to these meetings to voice their opinions about building subdivisions. It is not just to keep Beulah rural. It’s also to keep trash from invading our neighborhood. Thumbs up to the Sheriff’s Office for getting these people arrested but that just leaves room for another drug dealer, child molester or sexual predator to move in their place. When it was rural, we knew who our neighbors were. God save Beulah!
