Flomaton Man Charged With Trafficking Meth Into The Escambia, Florida Jail
May 21, 2023
A Flomaton man was charged with allegedly introducing a trafficking amount of meth into the Escambia County (FL) Jail.
Caleb Eli Turk, 31, was charged with trafficking methamphetamine and introduction of a controlled substance into a detention facility.
Turk was arrested in Florida on an outstanding warrant from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office in Alabama. He was searched and transported by a Florida deputy to the jail in Pensacola.
The deputy notated that Turk was fidgeting on the left side of his body during the transport. At the jail, the deputy again asked if there was “anything on him”, but he replied “no”, according to an arrest report. A jail corrections officer found a plastic bag containing 21.4 grams of meth concealed in his waistband, the report states.
Turk’s bond on the Florida charges was set at $15,000. He remained in the Escambia County (FL) Jail awaiting extradition.

If he had given those drugs to another inmate who then died, he could be charged with First degree murder.
So sad in so many ways. Just like every other arrest of a young person on drugs it is yet another life lost to an addiction. The problem here is he is not content to just use, but to spread his poison to others, just like the ones who spread it to him. I am sure he has family members, parents, grandparents, and siblings who care about him but until he starts caring about himself and the people he is destroying with his poison, the best place for him is behind bars. Just another person gone bad and another taxpayer expense!!
