Two Foley men were arrested and charged with burglary after a brief manhunt in the McDavid area Thursday morning.

Calvin Lynn Foote (pictured above left), 37, of Magnolia Acres Drive in Foley and Shannon Devon Bryars, 37, of McDuffy Road in Foley, were both charged with burglary. Bryars (pictured right) was also charged with obstruction by a disguised person.

The incident began  about 9:40 a.m. with calls to the sheriff’s department from a resident on Roach Road who reported that two men rang her doorbell and attempted to enter her home when she answered. Another resident on Barnes Road just off Cox Road reported that two men rang her doorbell and ran toward a wooded area when they realized that someone was home.

Units from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Department and the Flomaton Police Department setup a perimeter around the area. Search dogs from the Century Correctional Institute were brought to the scene. They, along with the Escambia Sheriff’s Department’s helicopter, searched the area. The K-9 unit was able to locate and apprehend the suspects in a wooded area between Barnes Road and Cox Road.

Preliminary information indicated that the two men may be wanted by other agencies for other burglaries. Their truck was located nearby, full of items that may have been from other burglaries.

    I’m glad the homeowners were not physically harmed , but I wish that they had given these two losers a fatal case of lead poisoning and saved the rest of us from feeding them for the next five years.

    I would like to thank the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department and all others that helped to catch the to guys that entered my house. The police officers never get the thanks that they deserve. I commend the officers on a job well done.
