Felony Suspect That Eluded Deputies In Molino Has Been Captured
May 28, 2025
A felony suspect that eluded capture after abandoning a stolen vehicle in Molino Saturday night has been captured.
According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, a suspect abandoned a stolen vehicle in the area of Highway 97 and Holly Park Lane, not far from the Dogwood Park Baptist Church. Thanks to OnStar tracking, deputies located the truck after it was reported stolen. Deputies set up a perimeter and searched for the suspect using a drone and K-9. The search was called off after several hours.
The ECSO said Tuesday that the suspect, 32-year-old Stephen Glenn Barton of Okeechobee, Florida, was later found hiding in a barn.
He was booked into the Escambia County Jail on charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and grand theft of firearm. He remained jailed Wednesday morning with bond set $14,000.
