Two Staying In Showalter Park Dugout Arrested With Drugs, ECSO Says

March 1, 2025

Two people allegedly staying in the dugouts at Century’s Showalter Park are facing drug charges.

Brian Adrian Qualls, 44, and Lindsey Marie Hanks, 43, were both charged with felony possession of a controlled substance by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

After receiving a tip from the Flomaton Police Department, ECSO deputies responded to the park where they located Qualls and Hanks in a dugout in the northernmost part of the park. Deputies located a bag next to Qualls that contained synthetic cannabinoids (spice), according to an arrest report, and small bag in Hanks’ wallet that containing methamphetamine.

Qualls was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $2,500 bond, while Hanks remained in jail with bond set at $2,500.

    @JJ
    I guarantee you that property is not zoned under the LDC for occupied tents. It’s an illegal land use.

    I allowed a homeless person to stay on my vacant house porch. Sheriff was called on him breaking into my hoise. He told sheriff he had permission to stay there. Deputy contacted me and I said he had permission. No other action taken. Was NOT ILLEGAL FOR HIM OR ME…

    If some one reports it to Escambia code enforcement they can cite the owner fines until they enforce a no trespassing policy and talk to ECSO. It seems the person is flaunting it. He could go behind Burger King or something.

    It’s disgusting, he could even throw trash away at the Post Office.

    Town of Century needs to take care of that. If the owner, LLC would go ahead and build a nice truck stop restaurant, that would be good.

    Not hard to find the owner. It is online. They bought all the property.

    Century doesn’t have a code enforcement officer, however they can turn it to Escambia county.

    Homeless person has a tent set up at Panhandle Restaurant property..
    Right out in plan site..
    I’m guessing because it’s private property nothings being done.

    They need to check out someone staying in front of the old Pahandle restaurant with trash everywhere. What’s up with that?
