Century Man Facing Multiple Drug, Other Charges After Fleeing From Deputies
December 30, 2023
A Century man is facing multiple charges after allegedly fleeing from deputies.
Ladarrious Tamiraye Lett, 29, was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, fleeing and eluding a marked patrol vehicle, resisting arrest without violence, driving with a suspended license, and possession of marijuana.
An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy on patrol in Century observed Lett driving a Dodge Charger. The deputy lost sight of Lett near the Whataburger parking lot on North Century Boulevard before locating the Charger again at East Highway 4 and Old Flomaton Road. The deputy activated his lights and siren and followed the vehicle until Lett fled at a high rate of speed on Fannie Road, an arrest report states.
Lett lost control and hit a bridge guardrail, allowing the deputy to catch up as Lett exited the car and ran into a wooded area. A Flomaton Police Department K-9 responded. The K-9 located a “large bag” of marijuana on the ground, along with a “large bag” of methamphetamine, the report states. Due to constant rain, Lett was not immediately located by the K-9.
A warrant for Lett’s arrest was later issued by a judge.
Lett remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

Response to Just Saying :
The cop was behind him on the highway and he lost sight of Man Man when Man Man turned right at the light. The cop was still by Whataburger parking lot when Man Man turned. So im assuming the cop also made a right and that’s when Man Man was under the impression the cop was gonna pull him over and he started speeding up in hopes to get away. The officer was probably just driving his regular daily observation route and had cut on his blue lights after he noticed that Man Man was speeding aka trying to escape. It all fell into play by chance. They was not targeting Man Man.
But why were the police following him? The article says they saw him, then they didn’t, then they did again and turned the lights and sirens on, so…why were they following him? No mention was made of speed or careless driving until he hit the bridge, lol. Just wondering what started the whole thing
All them Lett boys get lett out fast as they’d can run, is this what happened to Fannie Bridge?
Instead of facing the consequences he decided to make everything worse and did !!! But it’s ok because he’ll be out soon and right back at it in no time at all !!! Next time very soon don’t run away with your drugs stay put because law enforcement is going to get you anyway!!!! Dummy!!!!
