Cantonment Man Charged With Fleeing From Deputies At High Speed
January 14, 2026
A Cantonment man is facing multiple charges after allegedly fleeing from law enforcement at high speeds and running a red light
Lederrian Quamon Grandison, 28, was arrested recently on a warrant for fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, reckless driving, and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, a deputy was patrolling near the intersection of Highway 29 and Pinestead Road on New Year’s Eve when they observed a black Chevrolet Impala exiting the Regency Motel with no tag light. A records check revealed the tag was not assigned to that vehicle.
When the deputy activated emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop, the vehicle reportedly looped through the parking lot of Smyrna Baptist Church before accelerating back onto Highway 29 northbound. The vehicle then turned east onto Burgess Road, extinguished its headlights, and ran a red light at the intersection of Palafox Street while traveling at a high rate of speed.
Deputies were able to identify Grandison as the driver through a combination of motel surveillance footage and previous contact with him earlier that day at the Circle K on Kenmore Road and Highway 29. Records indicated that Grandison did not have a valid driver’s license and had a prior conviction for driving without a license in 2019.
Grandison was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $21,000 bond. As a special condition of his bond, a judge has ordered that he is not to drive or be behind the wheel of any motor vehicle.

Current Florida Law
1st time – 2nd degree misdemeanor. Max 60 days and $500
2nd time – 1st degree misdemeanor. Max 1 year and $1000.
3rd and subsequent – 1 degree misdemeanor. Same Max. Mandatory 10 days jail.
The issue is the judges keep issuing fines with no jail time. By the second one, they should have to serve 60 days. By the third one, at least 6 months. By the 4th one, it should be a felony with 2 year minimum sentence.
Heh. They’ll get him one way or the other. He’s not too smart.
With a suspended and revoked license, isn’t that already the case? Why should that a special condition? Just sayin’
We all know he’s back behind the wheel. With a documented history of ignoring or flouting laws it’s just a matter of time before he does it again. And again. Maybe next time he flees and runs an intersection at high speed with lights off he’ll seriously injure or kill someone. Maybe then we’ll take this stuff seriously.
good luck getting a conviction with an Escambia county jury, they let people off for more than this.
Yes Sir Your Honor l promise.
