Cottage Hill Man With Four Prior DUI Convictions Arrested For DUI By FHP
September 14, 2025
The Florida Highway Patrol charged a Cottage Hill man with four previous DUI convictions after finding him allegedly asleep behind the wheel on Pine Forest Road near Blue Angel Parkway.
Brian William Parsons, 47, was charged with DUI fourth or subsequent offense, refusal to submit to a DUI test after a license suspension, possession of synthetic cannabinoid, possession of drug paraphernalia and an open container violation.
According to an FHP report, a trooper found him stopped at a green light in a southbound lane of Pine Forest Road, slumped over the wheel. After the trooper woke him, he said he was tired after working all night. FHP said he refused to provide a breath sample.
In his vehicle, troopers located a glass pipe with residue that tested positive for methamphetamine and an open can of Busch beer, according to an arrest report.
According to FHP, Parsons had two previous DUI convictions in Georgia, one in Wyoming and one in Escambia County, Florida, along with an Escambia County conviction for refusal to submit to a DUI test.
Parsons was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $6,500 bond.

Charge him with attempted murder. Because that’s exactly what this is.
Here’s the thing!
DUI Penalties in Florida:
First DUI: Can lead to license suspension, fines, and other penalties.
Second DUI (within 5 years of the first conviction): Harsher penalties, a longer license suspension, and mandatory jail time are possible.
Third DUI (within 10 years of the prior conviction): Can result in a felony charge, a 10-year license revocation, and a mandatory Ignition Interlock Device (IID) for at least two years.
Fourth DUI: Results in a lifetime license suspension.
Someone is just ENABLING him to continue driving under the influence.
Get his sorry butt off the roads and put him in prison before he kills someone.
Why is this “thing” still driving? Please keep him in jail. People like him don’t deserve any kind of freedom when they attempt murder on every person on the road in his vicinity each and everytime they get behind the wheel. There should be NO BOND FOR HABITUAL VIOLATORS!!! Period!! 6,500 bond? Is anyone’s life in YOUR family worth this amount, Judges??? The Court point system is terribly flawed!!! Meanwhile, most of us PRAY FOR JUSTICE.
As a habitual DUIl offender, he continually gets a slap on the wrist and released. After he kills some innocent(s) on the roadway while drunk and high, we’ll hear that “someone should have done something”. Sad situation.
Our fine LEOs do their job and clean up the trash, but Georgia, Wyoming and our lazy Escambia County, FL. prosecutors and weak judges scatter the trash back into our streets.
And he is released to drink again on the roads!!!
He should be locked up to keep you and me safe!!!
Automatic LIFE sentence.
And with the court systems the way they are, what comes after 5?
