Cantonment Woman Arrested On Felony Drug Charges After Traffic Stop
October 2, 2025
A routine traffic stop for a window tint violation escalated into a felony drug arrest for a passenger in Pensacola.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office conducted a traffic stop on a silver SUV near the intersection of Pensacola Boulevard and Kenmore Road. A K-9 was deployed and alerted to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle.
A of the passenger side of the vehicle, where 27-year old Emily King, was seated, uncovered a small bag and a large purse allegedly containing drug paraphernalia, including blue straws and glass pipes with residue, according to an arrest report. Deputies said field tests of the substances in the bag were positive for methamphetamine and fentanyl.
King was charged with two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. She was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $5,500 bond.
The driver of the vehicle was issued a verbal warning for a window tint violation and driving without a license and was not arrested.

Driving without a license and driving while license suspended is two totally different things… obviously the driver just didn’t have their license on them.
I see this one of 2 ways they were after her and were tipped off or driving without a licenses doesn’t mean they don’t have it could also mean they did not have on their person. I have been pulled over without my wallet and they just look you up and they can give you a ticket for it but usually if your truthful they just let you go. But this sounds more like there is more then what is safer here
Glad that this didn’t turn violent, I hope Ms. King will get the help she needs to not throw her life away. I have a question though. “The driver of the vehicle was issued a verbal warning for a window tint violation and driving without a license and was not arrested. ” Does this mean he or she was allowed to drive away with a warning?
No D.L. and not arrested and car impounded. We need stronger laws. Vehicle likely wasnt insured with no D.L.
!!!!!!
Can some one please explain why the driver with no license was allowed to continue driving? I guess maybe if she has one on record just not on her person I could understand but I’m confused how anyone without a license or insurance (not mentioned in this case) can be allowed to continue down the road operating a vehicle. Just curious. Sincere question not being sarcastic or a know it all like most on this site Thanks
Parents, family! Stop her now! Get help for her while she is still pretty, young….and alive. God help her.
Bad decisions. Good job Deputies and K9.
