Bond Set At $250,000 For Day; Sheriff Says He Knows Where Body Is
October 10, 2009
Escambia County (Ala.) authorities say they know where to find the body of Woodrow “Token” Allen, the man Bruce Edward Day is accused of killing.
Day’s bond was set at $250,000 Friday by an Escambia County (Ala.) judge. He is charged with an open count of murder for the death of Allen, who was last seen in December of 2001.
Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff Grover Smith has said that new information has given his department the location of Allen’s body, and an attempt to recover it will be made soon.
A murder warrant for Day’s arrest was issued Monday, accusing him of killing Allen, 25, of Nokomis in 2001. Allen was last seen alive just a short time before he was scheduled to testify against Day in an attempted murder case.
Day was arrested on an attempted murder charge for shooting three times into a vehicle on James Road in Nokomis on October 28, 2001. The vehicle was occupied at the time by Allen, 25, and his juvenile niece. Allen’s mother reported him missing on December 17, 2001, claiming that she has last seen her son on December 13, 2001.
When U.S. Marshals attempted to arrest Day Tuesday, he fled into the woods near the University of West Florida, prompting the first lockdown in the school’s history. He surrendered to Smith in Atmore Thursday night.

What in the world do you have to do now a days to get put and jail and have to stay there. This man made fool out of every law man in Ala. and Fla. and they set his bond at only $250,000 His bond one one of his DUI was more than that.
