Molino Woman, Pensacola Man Arrested By FDLE On Fentanyl Charges
May 29, 2025
A Molino woman and Pensacola man were arrested on drug charges on Wednesday after the Florida Department of Law Enforcement served multiple search warrants in Molino, Cantonment and Pensacola.
Darius Andreas Brooks, 37, and Jennifer Lynn Beck, 53, were arrested on fentanyl and related crimes., according to FDLE. The arrests were the result of a joint investigation led by FDLE with assistance from the Pensacola Police Department, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Brooks is charged with trafficking fentanyl, trafficking heroin and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Beck is charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession of fentanyl and possession of controlled substances without a prescription.
“Today’s arrests highlight FDLE’s unwavering commitment to fighting fentanyl traffickers in Florida. I am proud of the dedicated FDLE agents and crime analysts who continue to work with our law enforcement partners to ensure drug traffickers are held accountable,” FDLE Pensacola Special Agent in Charge Chris Williams said Wednesday.
The case began in July of 2024 when FDLE received a tip that fentanyl was being distributed in Pensacola. The tip also included the names of persons suspected of trafficking fentanyl and other illicit drugs in the West Florida region.
Agents said the investigation revealed that Brooks and Beck were trafficking drugs with another trafficker, David Ryan Thompson, who FDLE arrested in February of 2025.
Multiple search warrants were served Wednesday at locations in Molino, Cantonment, and Pensacola. Law enforcement seized approximately one kilogram (more than 2.2 pounds) of fentanyl, trafficking amounts of heroin, trafficking amounts of methamphetamine, trafficking amounts of MDMA, approximately one pound of cannabis, an AR-15 rifle, a stolen AK-47 rifle, U.S currency, several cell phones and a 2019 Chevrolet Camaro.
Brooks and Beck were booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.

I know this news is shocking and disappointing, but I want to remind everyone that one story doesn’t define a person’s whole life. I’ve known her for years — she’s always been kind, supportive, and loving to me and my family. She’s a devoted mother and grandmother who made a serious mistake, yes, but she’s also someone who has always been there for the people she loves. None of the nasty comments can speak to the heart she has or the good she’s done for those around her. This doesn’t erase the bad decision, but it also shouldn’t erase everything else about who she is.
I agree with Anna 100 percent.
That is why I cut my few problem child relatives loose.
I know the arrest and circumstances have folks fired up but please remember these folks have families that typically are not involved in this lifestyle. Be careful when using words that may hurt folks unintentionally as these are your neighbors, someone’s children, sister/brother, mother/father, etc.
It’s about time they seize the property in Molino. It should have been done years ago when the chop shop was busted, nothing but illegal activity has gone on there far too long. What about the property owners? They have to know what’s been going on. They continue to allow these types of people to reside there and this kind of activity to continue.
I wonder how long it will take before the 2019 Camaro hits the auction block.
I think it’s time to make a good example out of these two !!! Without a record of arrest in the past when convicted no less than 20 years in prison to serve all 20 years. With prior arrests and convictions 40 + years and do all the time !!!
