June 3, 2024

Pensacola Police said a Molino man was trafficking meth to “make some money”.

Dustin Michael Hearn, 42, was charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In April, a Pensacola Police Department officer pulled Hearn over for a brake light violation in the area of West Strong Street and North Rues Street.

PPD officers reporting finding a bag of meth in his pocket. In the vehicle, they located a digital scale, schedule 2 controlled substance pills containing acetaminophen and hydrocodone bitartrate.

“I then spoke with Hearn. Hearn stated he understood his rights and agreed to speak to me. I asked Hearn about the meth found in his pocket. Hearn stated that he lost his job about a week ago and was trying to make some money. Hearn explained that he got the meth to sell to a friend,” the officer wrote in an arrest report.

Hearn was also cited for habitual driving with a suspended license and received a written warning for a faulty brake light.

He remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond due a hold from Santa Rosa County.

    …I think you’re confused. It’s typically conservatives that are insisting that we take a hard line on criminals and perform mass incarceration.

    Tom, that line of reasoning is why voting privileges should be accompanied by a competency test. You sound like a far left, progressive politician. There’s a little thing called free will that is exercised by the party willingly purchasing the drugs. If anything it is attempted suicide by that person. You’re trying to go down a rabbit hole that has no end.

    Anyone speeding on highways, running red lights, or missing a headlight, or taillight or driving drunk should be charged with attempted murder.

    Anyone caught with a weapon they cannot legally possess should be charged with attempted murder.

    Anyone caught installing electrical wiring in a building without a building permit should be charged with attempted murder.

    So, where does this stop? Is every butterfly that flaps its wings in the Amazon basin responsible for a tornado in Oklahoma?

    Any one trafficking drugs with intent to sale should be charged with attempted murder!

    Let’s see most people who lose a job gets another one and don’t start selling drugs for any reason!! That’s a pretty stupid idea if it’s even the truth !! Get ready if convicted you probably gonna do some jail time and it’s probably what is needed in this case
