Last night while we were all home sleeping safe and sound in our beds, K-9 Corporal Scott Stewart and other members of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office were out snatching Joshua and Daphne Morris, as well as their little criminal friend, Richard Ennis, off our streets for a bunch of charges including violations of Brevard County’s “Scumbag Ordinance.”

The arrests took place after the Cadillac Escalade, being driven by Joshua Morris, was stopped at the intersection of Leewood Blvd. and Croton Rd. for traffic infractions. Morris failed to produce a driver’s license and his two passengers, later identified as Daphne Morris and Richard Ennis refused to identify themselves, which as you know, is always a brilliant move when dealing with cops. Joshua Morris was directed to exit the vehicle at which time he became verbally abusive and still could not produce a valid driver’s license or identification. Morris was warned multiple times to exit the vehicle and continued to not comply with lawful commands. Corporal Stewart grabbed Morris by the wrist to snatch him out the car and Morris braced himself inside the vehicle and began swinging on Cpl. Stewart and Agent Dan Magill, who was on scene assisting. Since he decided to turn violent, Morris got to “ride the lightning” as we call it, when Deputy Michael Neill tased him, which helped him to better understand that he needed to get out of the vehicle where he was taken into custody for Battery on an LEO, Resisting With Violence, and subsequently, Possession of Meth, Possession of Fentanyl, and Possession of Psilocybin Mushrooms, that were all found in his possession.

The next time you’re riding around on a Friday night with your wife and and a friend, wondering what happens if you refuse to obey a lawful order by Brevard County Deputies, just ask Joshua Morris, Daphne Morris, and Richard Ennis who Messed Around And Found Out.

   

Now after watching his friend do stupid stuff, Richard Ennis must have thought to himself “heck son I can top that” as he bailed out of the car and took off running. 

        

Apparently he missed the memo that if you run from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office you are only going to go to jail tired, as Cpl. Stewart and Agent Magill ran him down in the back yard of a nearby residence and then cuffed and stuffed him for an active warrant out of the state of Kansas, with a $100,000 bond. The warrant was for Failure To Appear on Fraud, Felony Theft, and Tampering With An Electronic Monitoring Device, but Ennis also earned some additional charges when he tossed a tin can while he was running that had .2 grams of fentanyl and a an alprazolam pill. So after watching all of that take place, the anti-common sense pill that Daphne Morris had apparently taken earlier finally kicked in as she jumped from the passenger seat into the driver’s seat in an effort to flee the scene!! Daphne put all the windows of the vehicle up and locked the doors as she refused to exit the vehicle. Thanks to Daphne, the Cadillac Escalade now has driver’s side venting as Deputies knocked out the window and she was extracted from the vehicle by “Team Weber,” also known as Deputies Brenden and Dylan Weber. No surprise here, but Daphne Morris was also wanted on active Brevard County warrants for Check Fraud and Driving Without A Driver’s License. And to make the trifecta even better, a further search of a cargo trailer being pulled by the vehicle produced two firearms, with one of them being reported stolen out of the state of Kansas.

Since he decided to turn violent, Morris got to ride the lightening as we call it, when Deputy Michael Neill tased him, which helped him to better understand that he needed to get out of the vehicle where he was taken into custody for Battery on an LEO, Resisting With Violence, and subsequently, Possession of Meth, Possession of Fentanyl, and Possession of Psilocybin Mushrooms, that were all found in his possession.

Now I wonder how that got all the way to Florida, especially since both Joshua Morris and Richard Ennis are convicted felons.

On a positive note…all three subjects were transported to “Ivey’s Iron Bar Lodge” where they qualified for our “Friends and Family” Plan that includes a free “I Messed Around And Found Out” T-Shirt, free Rec Yard passes, and also complimentary passes to the communal shower area.

A huge thank you to all of our team members involved in this case for being out there keeping our community safe while we were sleeping.
