SRSO: Georgia man apprehended following Navarre gas station disturbance

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office apprehended a Georgia man with an active out-of-state warrant following a disturbance call in Navarre on Monday.

According to a press release from the sheriff’s office, the incident occurred when three individuals arrived at the Murphy’s  gas station in Navarre.

The report said a disturbance occurred after the three individuals attempted to pay only $10 for $34.85 worth of fuel.

Two of the individuals then began yelling at the clerk and customers, when the authorities were contacted.

Before deputies arrived on scene, one of the individuals − later identified as Georgia resident Rene Molina − fled the gas station on foot. Molina was later apprehended inside the neighboring Wal-Mart.  

After taking Molina into custody, deputies discovered Molina had a active warrant out of Gwinnett County, Georgia for escape.

According to his arrest report, Molina also admitted to having marijuana in his possession. Deputies found a small plastic baggie with under 20 grams of marijuana.  

In addition to facing charges of marijuana and drug equipment possession, Molina is also charged with disorderly intoxication.  

Molina is currently incarcerated at the Santa Rosa County Jail.
