Burglary Call Lands Woman In Jail On Outstanding Warrants
October 1, 2009
A reported burglary in progress near Davisville led to the arrest of a Walnut Hill woman on outstanding warrants Thursday afternoon.
Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the reported burglary in progress at 3:34 Thursday afternoon after a neighbor called to report two females were breaking into a nearby house on Green Village Road, just north of Highway 164. Both females were still at the house when deputies arrived.
Deputies determined that it was not a burglary; one of the females was allowed to leave. But deputies David Bayshore and Rudy Brown discovered that Michelle Marie Hockett, 31, of Ashcraft Road, had three outstanding warrants.
One warrant was issued February 28, 2008, after Hockett failed to appear for violating her probation on a conviction on 18 worthless check charges. According to court records, was first arrested in the case in November 2005 for 16 worthless checks totaling just over $500 to Tom Thumb, one check to Diamond Gasoline for $35 and one to Barnes Supermarket for $7.85.
A second warrant was outstanding against Hockett for failure to appear on March 27, 2008, in a drug possession case. She had a third outstanding warrant on another worthless check case for a $95.86 check written in 2007 to Driskell’s Grocery.
The worthless checks were not Hockett’s first in Escambia County. Court records show she was convicted in 2006 of writing 61 worthless checks totaling about $4,000 to Driskell’s Grocery, Piggly Wiggly, Tobacco Annies and Diamond Gasoline.
Hockett remains in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

there are lots of these offenders hiding in the backwoods of century…wish william could find a way to get a list and pics of these people wanted for felony warrants and publish the local ones……GET EM OFF THE STREETS!!!!!!!!!! That’s all law enforcement has to do, pull the one from the atmore, walnut hill, flomaton, century and brewton areas and put their faces on here, it is hard to even iomagine how many could be caught!
How is she was able to go back into some of the same stores and write more worthless checks? What kind of time will she serve? Probation? Habitual?
Thank God. I wish they could catch all these worthless check writing witches. Typically they (law enforcement) do nothing about this, and retailers suffer tremendously.
