I have to agree with heartbroken, it’s a town of helpless people. Yes there is some that can get out and get a job, but what about the kids who messed up early in life and tried to turn their life around. I watched some of the young men try and try to find a job but was not able to get one because of their background. It’s sad when they do time in prison and get out and still pay for a crime they committed years ago. I have family who is a victim of this same situation. I have family who got out went to college and to this day will not be hired because of background. God is a forgiving God, AND i thank God for Jesus everyday. Man will never forget but Jesus will not only forget but give you chance after chance to get it right. Everyday is a day to get it right with God but with man, everyday is a day to be knocked around, let down and judged by a unjust judge. We will continue to pray because he is one of our babies, regardless of what the judge say, he is going to be saved and delivered from the streets. IN THE NAME OF JESUS! AND IF HE IS FOR HIM THEN THAT’S MORE THAN THE WHOLE WORLD AGAINST HIM.

Person,
The article states:

Once inside the jail, a detention deputy found a larger bag containing six small bags individually containing marijuana in one of Dixon’s pockets; the larger bag also contained several smaller empty baggies, according to the report.

What part of POCKET don’t you understand?

On another note:
Guess we now know that it wasn’t Whooping Cough that had the whole jail hacking up a lung, it was the C-town Green Bud that was the cause.

Again, it all boils down to what a child grows up around, NOT saying that all parents do drugs, but now days there are so many parents who teach the children how to run drugs. There are some parents who do drugs right in front of the children, and that is about as low as you can get.

It would seem the introduction charge is harsh since it’s obvious the deputy did not search the guy. Deputies are suppose to search a suspect before putting them in his car. It was in his pockets not hidden.

i certainly sympathize with joblessness and the hopelessness that unemployment brings. But there’s very little excuse in the world for outright stupidity. Trying to smuggle drugs into the Escambia County lockup has a “duh” factor of 12 out of 10. Only an idiot would do such a thing.

Now let’s hire this able-bodied-looking young blood to drive our $49,000 dump truck. We’ll forgive all his trespasses and entrust our equipment to his good judgement and intelligence.

Result: smashed truck, dead family in a Chevy van when a substance altered driver drifts left of center while texting his dealer for more pot.

Yeah. Let’s all hire moron druggies and live forever after in a smoke filled haze.

I guess that since you cant get a job in Century you should sell drugs? I left century for a good paying job . I could’ve stayed and sold drugs but I was raised better than that.

I remember the day this child was born. This really saddens me to know that a child that I once babysat is dealing drugs. But what can we expect when Century is becoming a jobless town. If you don’t work you don’t eat. Don’t get me wrong I’m not agreeing with the selling of drugs because there are obviously more dealers than users in C-ToWN, but when you take what little hope they had. I suggest you bring jobs to Century rather than take them away. And maybe if hire some people who have backrounds (which is about all of them now) then maybe they won’t feel pushed to selling drugs..
