July 22, 2023

A Cantonment man was arrested on multiple charges after he jumped out and ran following a traffic stop Friday afternoon.

Willie Edward Brown, 39, was charged with fleeing and eluding, methamphetamine trafficking, cocaine possession,  driving with a suspended or revoked license, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation in the area of Burgess Road and Oakfield Road. They said Brown fled on foot, but he was quickly captured by K-9 Maddox and Deputy Beaty. The ECSO said cocaine was also located in his vehicle.

Brown remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $61,500.

    It just amazes me when a criminal runs are you crazy this ain’t a TV show this is the real deal !!!! These officers and K-9s are fully trained to catch quickly!!! You ain’t that smart or fast and never will be !!! Although you will probably get another chance to do this again in the future almost a guarantee!!!!
