Manhunt In Christian Home For Burglary Suspect Turns Up Empty
August 7, 2008
Escambia County deputies spent a couple of hours searching for a burglary suspect in the Christian Home community Wednesday evening after a woman came home to discover someone in her house.
A resident on Camp Road reported a juvenile male running out of her home as she arrived at her property in the 3200 block of Camp Road about 6:15 Wednesday night.
Deputies on the ground, along with the Sheriff’s helicopter and a K-9 team from Century Correctional Institute, searched an area around Camp Road and Pine Barren Road for almost two hours before calling off the search just before 8 p.m. The area is near the Christian Home Freewill Baptist Church on Pine Barren Road.
The suspect was described as a teenage white male dressed in a dark, possibly black shirt and khaki shorts.
Anyone with information on the suspect should call the Escambia Sheriff’s Department at 436-9630 or call 911 in the event of an emergency.

I would like to add that I have a vacant property in Christian Home as well. My home was broken into the last part of May. My home has been completly destroyed. Whoever did this shot out every single window in the house, put holes in my floors, knocked out walls, painted very profane sayings on the doors and destroyed a very cherished antique piano. We have items that are missing from the home, not to mention the damage that was done to my husbands truck. The culprits actually took the ignition out and took things from under the hood as well. We filed a report with the Sheriff’s office and they came out to do a report. However, no fingerprints were taken. When I called to get a copy of the report, the Sheriff’s office only has a call log to provide to me. Please note, I still have to make a monthly payment on this property. I am very outraged at this and how it has been handled. I was born and raised around Christian Home. My grandparents actually born and raised there. The property that was so badly demolished belonged to my grandparents before they passed away. So, this is very upsetting to me as well as my family. It is so very frustrating that nothing is being done about it. As well as someone else mentioned, you never had to worry about anything like this in Christian Home, but now, you just don’t feel safe at all in your own home.
The k-9 officer with his hands on his holster talking to the deputy is cool to. They all do a great job. Glad we have them to help when needed.
Cool dog!!!
thank it was some one they new. did not see anyone walking around here. a lot of cars come and go from their. they need to keep an eye out over thie anyway
I am a resident of Christian Home Community. I am absolutely outraged that a young person would come into our neighborhood and cause fear to our elderly and children! I have lived in this community for 15 years and we have NEVER had to be concerned. Last night after this manhunt occurred, my children were absolutely frozen with fear! They slept in the floor of our bedroom because they did not feel safe. I pray that this young man will understand what he has done.
