Century Man Charged With Fleeing Traffic Stop

July 25, 2016

A Century man tried to run from deputies on a traffic stop, but he could not hide from an arrest warrant.

An Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy conducted a traffic stop in the area of Pond and Jefferson streets in Century after clocking a vehicle speeding at 39 mph in a 25 mph zone. The driver, Travis Lavar Scott, provided his driver’s license to the deputy and began to search for his registration. When the deputy later asked if he had found the registration, Scott put the vehicle in gear and sped away, according to an arrest report.

The deputy attempted to intercept Scott at his nearby home on Gilford Avenue, a short distance from the traffic stop, but he exited the vehicle and fled on foot. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

Scott was charged with felony fleeing and eluding an law enforcement officer with lights and siren active. He was also issued a speeding ticket. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $5,000 bond.
