August 14, 2009
The man accused in a $300,000 multi-state theft ring is behind bars facing a list of charges with more to be filed.
Mark Anthony Harrison, 38, was arrested after he was found hiding in an apartment closet in Milton. He is now in the Santa Rosa County Jail, charged with resisting arrest, criminal mischief, two counts of burglary and two counts of larceny. He will be charged with four counts of receiving stolen property in Escambia County, Ala., grand theft, burglary and criminal mischief in Escambia County, Fla.; and more charges from both Santa Rosa County and Baldwin County, Ala.
His total bond stands at $22,500 on his current charges.
A tip led Santa Rosa County deputies to an apartment near Milton. Deputies found Harrison hiding under clothing and other items in the apartment closet. According to police reports, Harrison refused to show his hands and was forceibly removed from the closet by deputies.
Authorities say the theft ring targeted homes and businesses in North Escambia, Santa Rosa County and Baldwin and Escambia counties in Alabama.
Property discovered on Upper Creek Road in Flomaton included a four wheeler that was reported stolen from Century Marine in December of last year. Two additional stolen four wheeler and two motorcycles were also recovered from the property.
When officers executed search warrants at home in Riverview and Brewton, they located a stash of additional stolen property, including a Fleetwood motor home. In all the stolen goods are worth an estimated $300,000 from Escambia and Santa Rosa counties in Florida, and Escambia and Baldwin counties in Alabama.

GR8DAD is right. The first photo released on him was from back in 2000 when he was booked into the Escambia (Ala.) Detention Center. It ran in this story:

Also, to be noted, the photo of this individual that was first published was a booking photo from 7-10 yrs ago while he was in jail in Escambia County, AL.
Yeah..looks like billy bob but acts like carl childers. Lock him up.
I hope they used an appropriate use of FORCE!!!
Looks like his hair was cut & bleached, moustache bleached, & little goatee grown & bleached, judging from the first picture shown of him with very dark, long hair. An attempt at disguise, I guess…
Kinda looks a little like Billy Bob Thornton now….sorry Billy Bob…
