Atmore Man Arrested In Christian Home For Probation Violation

October 17, 2009

An Atmore man was arrested in the Christian Home Community Friday afternoon on a  probation violation warrant from a conviction stemming from a 2005 narcotics arrest.

steeljustinbryan2.jpgJustin Bryan Steel, 23, of Estes Lane, Atmore, was arrested without incident  by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at a home in the 3000 block of Pine Barren Road on an outstanding warrant issued last month accusing him of violating probation.

Steel was arrested February 6, 2005, and charged with marijuana possession, possession of narcotics equipment and no valid driver’s license. He pleaded nolo contendere on September 23, 2008, to all charges, and the court withheld adjudication. He was sentenced to six months probation concurrently on each count. In March of this year, he was accused of violating his probation.

A warrant for his arrest was issued September 24 for violation of probation. Steel is being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

    BigDon — “Steel” as the article states, according to the jail and court records.

    I like Joe’s better. :)

    I thought about the double meaning of the headline when I wrote it and decided to keep it. Besides, we don’t know if he was arrested in a Christian home (house) in the community of Christian Home.

    You just gotta love this headline…

    Thanks, William! That’s almost as good as the headline Joe Thomas wrote in the Tri-City Ledger one time – Fannie Springs Gas Leak.
