Century Man Charged In Home Invasion, Robbery
March 16, 2010
A Century man was arrested late Sunday night on outstanding warrants in connection with an August 2009 home invasion and robbery.
Justin Wayne Kyles, 18, of Jackson Street, Century, is charged with home invasion robbery, aggravated battery using a deadly weapon and petty theft. He is being held in the Escambia County Jail on $90,000 bond.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Kyles and two other men allegedly entered a home on Gilford Avenue in Century by removing a window air conditioner at about 1 a.m. on August 30, 2009. Once inside, they attacked a male in his bed, smashing a table lamp over his head, and then struck him repeatedly in the head with other unknown objects, according to the arrest report. They reportedly stole $280 before fleeing the residence.
The victim went to a neighboring house for help — with a lamp cord and lamp parts still wrapped around his neck, the ECSO report says. The victim was transported to Jay Hospital where it took 35 staples to repair his head injuries. He told sheriff’s deputies that he knew Kyles was one of his attackers.
According to deputies, the victim’s story appeared to check out, with broken lamp pieces and blood on the bed and a trail of blood leading to the neighbor’s house.

Years ago someone was killed at a service station in Milton Fl. over 4 cents. I know that no one was killed this time, but what about next time. Some people have no respect for human life.
REGARDING:
“That is an extremely ridiculous amount of violence for less than $300.”
Agreed, nobody should ever attempt to murder anyone for less than $1,000
David thinking even THAT might be low
Where are the other 2? Made be he will give them up?
That is an extremely ridiculous amount of violence for less than $300. What a bunch of whacked out sicko’s. I hope he gets at least 25 years.
Angi, I second that motion! Poor Man asleep and they beat him like that, maybe they need the same treatment, you know “an eye for an eye”. With vigilante justice, they wouldn’t do this twice I promise.
I believe they ought to bring back the justice system to the older days, if a man rapes a woman, he loses well you know. If a man takes a life, hang him at sunset. If a man attempts to murder, beat him within an inch of his life then let him go. I think these are good rules to live by, surely there would be less crime!
I surely would call it that too bill, big b little ill… Glad to hear that this guy is behind bars… To the poor man that was hit in the head, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family… So, where are the other two that helped this one almost kill this poor man? Have they caught them too? Or or they still out on the streets ready to take charge in another crime? I say keep’em locked up and throw those keys away!!! JMO
35 staples to repair his head injuries
