An Brewton man has been arrested by the Walton County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Office and is facing multiple felony charges.
According to information published by the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, Antonio Quintez Hall, 31, of Brewton, was stopped in a stolen vehicle on Feb. 2 in Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., along Hwy. 98 .
The stolen vehicle, a yellow Dodge Dakota pickup truck, was being driven by Hall. Officers removed the suspect from the vehicle and he was detained.
While removing the suspect from the truck, deputies could see a clear bag with small white rocks individually wrapped within a small plastic bag on the floor near the driver’s seat. The substance tested positive for cocaine.
Upon searching the vehicle, a blue plastic container was located. Inside were clear bags with white residue and burnt pieces of tin foil that also tested positive for cocaine.
Additionally, a black and bronze Kel-Tec 9-millimeter pistol was found under the driver’s seat with an extended magazine. Fourteen rounds of miscellaneous ammunition were loaded into the magazine.
The last digit of the gun’s serial number was scratched off, preventing deputies from properly checking the firearm to confirm it was stolen.
During the investigation, it was found Hall had been driving on a suspended license out of Alabama since October of 2024, and an expired driver’s license out of Florida since July of 2020. He also had an active warrant out of Escambia County, Alabama.
Hall was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, removing a serial number from a firearm, dealing in stolen property, driving with a suspended license, possession of drug paraphernalia, and violating driver’s license law. Jail information also added a charge of being an out-of-state fugitive.
Booked into the Walton County Jail, bond for Hall was set at $5,000. As of press time Tuesday, he remains in custody in Walton County.
