Cantonment Woman Sentenced In 2025 DUI, Drug Possession Case

September 20, 2026

A Cantonment woman has been sentenced in a 2025 DUI case in which she was arrested after an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy observed her driving erratically recently on West Nine Mile Road.

Tiffany Ann Baisden, now 60, was convicted of DUI, refusal to submit to DUI testing, and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription (alprazolam). She was sentenced recently to 18 months of probation on the possession charge, 12 months for DUI, and time served for refusal to submit to DUI testing.

According to an arrest report, Baisden was pulled over in the Kohl’s parking lot on November 23, 2025, after being seen driving without tag lights, accelerating and braking without reason, and drifting across traffic lines. The deputy noted Baisden appeared unsteady and unable to focus.

After performing poorly on field sobriety tests, Baisden was taken into custody. The report states that the deputy found 10 alprazolam pills in her wallet during a search prior to booking.

At the jail, Baisden  initially agreed to provide a urine sample but then failed to do so in a timely manner, which was taken as a refusal. Deputies said she also spontaneously stated that she had snorted methamphetamine in the past two days.
