Century Manhunt Turns Up Empty; Deputies Still Looking For Suspect

January 4, 2010

A manhunt in Century turned up empty this afternoon, and deputies are asking for your help in locating a man wanted on a felony warrant.

Escambia County Deputy David Preston responded to a 911 call in the 9000 block of Old Flomaton Road in Century about 12:20 Monday afternoon. Shortly after he arrived, Preston saw a man that he believed to be Brown run from the back of the residence.

Deputies set up a perimeter around the area and tracking dogs from the Century Correctional Institution were called to assist in the search. The K-9 unit was able to follow a scent from the back of the residence, but they were unable to location Brown. The manhunt was called off about 1:20 p.m.

Brown has allegedly ran from deputies before. On October 26 of last year, deputies spotted him in the 700 block of West Highway 4 and gave chase on foot. Deputies located Brown and arrested him on Hadley Lane for failure to appear in the same narcotics case.

According to Escambia County Circuit Court records, Brown did not appear in court of charges of possession of a controlled substance, marijuana possession with intent to sell, and possession of narcotic equipment charge stemming from his August 25, 2008, arrest. A failure to appear warrant for his arrest was issued July 9 of this year.

On October 13, Brown appeared before Circuit Court Judge Linda Nobles on the failure to appear charge. The judge reinstated Brown’s $31,000 bond, and he was released from jail.

Brown’s bond was revoked by Nobles on December 18 on a motion by the State Attorney’s Office.

Anyone with information about Brown’s whereabouts is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at (850) 436-9620.
