Molino Man Arrested For DUI On I-110, Cocaine Possession
January 31, 2026
A Molino man was arrested by a state trooper on multiple charges after a traffic stop on I-110 in Pensacola.
Stephen Raye Simonds, 36, was charged with DUI, possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), refusal to submit to DUI testing, marijuana possession, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was later released on a $6,000 bond.
A Florida Highway Patrol trooper observed a 1993 Chevrolet pickup truck on I-110 that was traveling at about 40 mph, failing to maintain a single lane, and sometimes stopping on the interstate.
Simonds failed DUI field exercises and was taken into custody before providing two breath samples of 0.037 alcohol levels, according to an arrest report. He then refused to provide a urine sample for controlled substance testing.
The trooper reported finding baggies with one gram of cocaine and 7.5 grams of marijuana in the vehicle.
The incident occurred on Christmas Day, but the arrest report was just released. Simonds has since entered a not guilty plea and is set to appear in court in March.

Houston. We have a maturity problem.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
Great job by the LEO of getting this selfish fool off our roads. Now he can appear before the judge and hopefully he has a sentence that will be severe enough to prevent this action in the future.
Thank goodness the legal intoxication limit was changed from 1.0 to .08 because the infractions were always just a bit over the limit. WRONG.
The “super speeder” does not apply in this case. How about a super slower?
Only a $6k bond for this garbage? He goes out and endangers others, obviously has ZERO respect for the law or other people and this is all he gets? The system once again fails us!
What a selfish, selfish weasel to put other people’s life in jeopardy because HE has a major problem.The alcohol and drugs have already put about 20+ years on his 36 yr old face! Get help before you kill someone!!!
I think people like this needs to be locked up. It’s no different than committing a premeditated crime. People obviously know the damn consequences of the outcome, yet they still chose to do it. So, lock their ass up! Until something is done about these kind of crimes, people will continue right on with it! He could have killed others and maybe himself as well.
