The Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office has issued arrest warrants for two men involved in a Milton bar fight Tuesday night.
Sheriff Bob Johnson says the biker gang responsible for the fight was the same one involved in a Navarre bar fight less than a month ago.
The wanted men for Tuesday’s incident are Justin Jay Ford, 46, of Pensacola, and Floyd Keith Stabler, 54, of Milton.
Around 5:15 p.m., deputies were dispatched to Spokes and Kickstands bar on Highway 90 in Milton. The caller said a shooting had occurred.
The fight involved two biker clubs — the Pagans and the Outlaws.
“One individual sustained injuries during the fight and had to be transported to a local area hospital,” a release from the sheriff’s office states. “During the fight, a handgun was discharged but no one was injured due to the weapon being fired.”
Ford is wanted for:
- Carrying A Concealed Weapon (Felony)
- Carrying a Concealed Weapon in a Specific Location
- Improper Exhibit of a Weapon
- Discharging a Weapon into a Building (Felony)
- Disorderly Conduct, Affray
Stabler is wanted for:
- Disorderly Conduct, Affray
The release states this is the second fight in Santa Rosa County between the two biker clubs.
Sheriff Johnson says the Pagans are a new group to the area, adding that authorities haven’t had any issues with the Outlaws until the Pagans showed up.
“Before the Stripes incident, we weren’t aware they were around,” Johnson said. “Then all of a sudden they pop up and now we’re having these incidents between them and the Outlaws.”
Johnson says that in the fight at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre on May 15, a Pagan attacked someone not affiliated with a gang. Five men were charged for the incident.

“We’re not going to put up with this,” Johnson said. “You act like an animal, we’re going to treat you like an animal. And if they don’t stop, we’ll stop them.”
