Escambia Deputies Find Wanted Man Hiding Inside Clothes Dryer
May 18, 2024
Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a 31-year-old man Friday after finding him hidden inside a clothes dryer.
David Jerome Jackson had been wanted since March for charges of shooting into a dwelling, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, damage to property, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Friday, deputies received a tip that Jackson was inside a home off Edgewater Drive. With the assistance of our warrants unit, deputies entered the home and began to search for Jackson.
“After an extensive search, deputies proceeded to the laundry room, where they finally discovered Jackson, folded, not so neatly inside a remarkably small dryer drum. The look on his face, a combination of guilt, embarrassment, and warm hosiery,” ECSO said. “He was pulled from the dryer one limb at a time, as he clung to his tumble-ready hideout. Outside the dryer, deputies removed three dryer sheets, two mismatched socks, and a crumpled-up tissue from his surprisingly wrinkled Star Wars shirt.”
Jackson was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond at $120,000.

Possibly the guy was accustomed to larger (in Laundromats) size dryers?
I hope this one makes it to a body cam you-tube video!
I guess The Force was not with him.
I could never be a deputy. If I came upon something ike this, I would surely snort. That would be very unprofessional. lol
If I would have seen this , I would have push the start buttons
Lol
Good job ECSO…I reckon his “clean get away” didn’t go as planned…
ECSO is not Snuggle soft on crime. Let’s hope the DA and judge isn’t in delicate mode.
Amazed he could fit in a dryer. The window was the problem for him.
the deputies could use a laugh. Looks like his „ hair crown“ got mashed down in the middle – this time no fault can be attributed to someone else. Hilarious …
I have to say that this well written article made my day! . Crime is nothing to laugh at but this story bought a chuckle to me.
