Century Man Busted In Drug Raid Arrested For Not Showing Up In Court
July 6, 2009
A Century man arrested during a drug raid carried out by the SWAT team across Century at the end of May has been arrested again, charged with not showing up in court on his narcotics charge.
David Lydell Williams was arrested by Esambia County deputies at a home on Williams Street in Century Saturday on charges of failure to appear and violation of probation.
Williams, 24, was charged with possession of a controlled substance after his arrest at a home at 110 Ramar Street during the May 27 overnight drug raid in Century. He was released on $7,500 bond on May 28. Williams was due back in court on June 18, and a warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to appear, according to court records.
Williams had been on probation since April 9 of this year after being convicted of cocaine possession, a third degree felony. He was on four years probation after being convicted on the charge stemming from an October 27 arrest. Because of the May drug raid charge, a violation of probation warrant was issued for his arrest.
Williams is currently being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

The parole board is no better. The recent serial killer in the carolinas had been paroled 3 months before he started his killing spree. They should lock up the parole board.
I also vote not to retain them. the problem is that its the “devil you know’ syndrome. Out goes a couple of bad judges and in comes five worse judges.
It seems as if Jail is no threat to most repeater’s. You get 3 square. Medical attention. Dentist. Bed. No bills. Don’t have to get up if you don’t want to. Hey no job to report to. Watch a little T.V or is it cable now? No responsiblity’s. WOW!
Why be threaten, or dislike this set-up, unless maybe you miss a party. Gee.
Maybe our law makers will take this into consideration.
Judges will start doing their job right when the voters learn that they have a right to vote “NO” on the ballot where it says shall Judge “so and so” be retained in office. I have been voting for almost 40 years and I have never voted yes to retain any judge. If we were to actually vote a few out in the next couple of elections, I suspect the others would take notice and do their job. BUT I’m sure that people will do as they always do, keep complaining about the way judges do, but when they have the opportunity to do something about it, seventy percent of the people will go right ahead and vote yes to keep the judge they are complaining about, virtually guaranteeing the judge a job for life.
When are the judges going to realize that probation is a JOKE???? If the system would get hard on these criminals….maybe we would see some sort of rehab..spend some time at hard labor for your crimes .Now as it is ,the criminals are back on the street before the deputies get their paperwork finished….
