Charges upgraded after spice located

EB police serve warrant for possession and distribution; find 456 grams of spice inside

East Brewton police arrived at Keith Andrew Squaire's 100 Harrison St., Apartment F8 residence at 8 a.m. Monday to arrest him on warrants charging him with unlawful distribution and possession charges for spice and, once inside, found 456 grams of spice that led to an additional charge of trafficking.

Squaire, 45, was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center on $1 million bond for the new charges, but had his bond revoked on previous drug charges.

According to court records, Squaire was on probation through community corrections for prior drug convictions at the time of his arrest.

Squaire had a previous conviction of unlawful possession of a controlled substance (crack cocaine) in 2013. On Feb. 28, 2018, he pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a controlled substance for spice in a 2017 case and was placed on probation with community corrections.

The Escambia County district attorney's office has filed motions to revoke the probation on Squaire's previous charges as a result of his new arrest.
