FHP Charges Molino Man With DUI After Traffic Crash
December 20, 2024
The Florida Highway Patrol has charged a Molino man with DUI after a traffic crash in Pensacola on Wednesday.
Joseph Daniel Flowers, 45, was charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license and refusal to submit. He was later released from the Escambia County Jail on a $1,500 bond.
The Florida Highway Patrol said Flowers was involved in a three-vehicle crash about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday on Brent Lane just west of Davis Highway. Flowers told troopers her sewered in an attempt to avoid a vehicle that swerved toward him. Flowers’ Kia Sorrento collided with two stopped vehicles, according to the FHP report.
“Mr. Flowers’ speech was slurred and intelligible. He seemed confused by my questions and was fumbling with his vehicle paperwork. He seemed tired and lethargic,” trooper wrote in the report.
The report states that he was unable to properly perform field sobriety exercises. He provided a breath sample that registered no alcohol level and”appeared to doze off”,” FHP said, before refusing to provide a urine sample for analysis.
FHP said Flowers’ license was suspended in June with three prior driving while suspended convictions and one prior suspension for refusal.

Everyone can set here and complain and fuss. Instead of just doing that why don’t you contact your Politans and start rallying together to get things changed. The judges and law enforcement have guide liens they go by. Tose guide lines have to be changed in Tallahassee.
Old habits are hard to brake, same people continue to never suffer the consequences of their actions, maybe this time.
Habitual offender. Time to go to jail.
….$1500 bond..Seriously….no licence.
Drunk , or maybe drugs ? Killed someone ?
..our LEO’s..State , County and city LEO’s
are out there chasing these outlaws , testifying
In court , and the Judges are just letting
them walk out the door ?
Until we have stern laws on the books
and Judges with some common sence
these outlaws will be driving our roads
Maiming and killing our families and friends
It will never get any better…
Maybe some jail time now…before he kills someone.
@NikNak50 FHP stated no alcohol was detected. Not all DUI’s are drunk driving. DUI can include narcotics, illegal drugs, and medical marijuana – any of these sound like the probable substance in this case.
@concerned citzen
Next bond is $2500
Can the public ask for the removal of this judge that put this guy back on the streets before another citizen is hurt by this guy.
Wait until he kills an inecent person then maybe they will make his bond higher or do something about it thus is his forth charge
Suspended license? No big deal
No insurance? No big deal
Refusal to submit? No big deal
$1500.00 bond? No big deal
Drunk driving? No big deal, at least not anymore anyways
How long do they suspend licenses now ? – he obviously continuous to drive in spite of not having a license – and not insured. Now he is back out again on a $1,500 bond. How many more vehicle owners will pay for this man‘s actions? And people wonder why car insurance premiums are going out of sight!
