Cantonment Man Facing Drug Charges After Traffic Stop

February 1, 2024

A Cantonment man is facing multiple drug charges following a traffic stop.

Tyler Jacob Myers, 33 was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of drug paraphernalia, and introduction of a controlled substance into a detention facility.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office stopped a vehicle in which Myers was a passenger after it  was clocked at 65 mph in a 45 mph zone on Pensacola Boulevard near I-10.

After a K-9 alerted on the vehicle, deputies found Xanax inside of a backpack located in the passenger floorboard between Myers’ legs and a straw with a white residue that tested positive for cocaine, according to an arrest report.

While Myers was being booked into the Escambia County Jail, a corrections officer discovered a small plastic bag in his pocket with a powder that tested positive for fentanyl, the report continues.

Myers remained in jail without bond after his bond was revoked in a November cocaine possession case.

The driver of the vehicle was cited for speed and driving with a suspended license.

    What a waste of time.
    At least four deputies, a K-9, and now jail, for personal use.

    Repeat after me:
    “I am free.”

    Tax it and leave people alone, the guy was a passenger.

    Prior to admission at the jail Suspects are warned about bringing drugs into a jail facility. Jeremy has no idea that a search incident to arrest is for weapons and not minute amounts of illegal drugs.

    So, you are saying that he caught an extra charge because the arresting deputy failed to properly search the suspect?
