16th Felony Conviction Gets Escambia Man 15 Years In Prison
December 1, 2023
A 44-year-old Escambia County man with 15 previous felony convictions has been sentenced to 15 years in prison as a habitual felony offender.
Bunny Hodart Brown III was convicted of fleeing and eluding law enforcement in May 2022.
Escambia County Sheriff’s Deputies attempted to stop Brown but he fled from law enforcement at a high rate of speed. Prosecutors said he drove at speeds in excess of 65 miles per hour through a residential neighborhood and failed to stop at several stop signs. He eventually fled on foot where law enforcement officers located him hiding behind a fence. Brown was subsequently arrested and booked into the Escambia County Jail.
During sentencing, the state argued that the defendant was a danger to the community and that his actions warranted a severe punishment. Judge Jones took note of the defendant’s extensive criminal record and his lack of regard for the law.

Perfect example of what I was getting at with that cop story and the drugs , does the punishment seem equal?
We need to go back to “3 strikes you are out :
Once you’re in court for felonies for a third time, especially with weapons and drug possession as is the case here, it should become apparent that low end sentences are not working. Expect a 17th felony in about 5 to 8 years.
Since the Florida Legislature writes the sentencing guidelines, you’d think they would have nailed this down after all these years of a single party being in power. It baffles me how such leniency is still codified in the system.
One year per felony. Slap on the wrist.
I’ve always been in favor of the death penalty to protect the public!
We need to find out who failed us on the previous 15 felonies and vote them out of office.
Some times it takes more than twenty convictions.
This is what is wrong with our judicial system, fifteen felonies before he gets an ample sentence
w0w only 15 felony convictions to book a 15 year luxury suite…
