February 19, 2011

The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force is asking for help in locating a man wanted for aggravated battery, kidnapping to inflict bodily harm, robbery, and grand theft of a motor vehicle. Marshals say he may be in the Escambia County area.

Bradley Scott Bruce allegedly beat his girlfriend to the point of being unrecognizable and fled into the woods near Gretna, Fla. nearly a week ago. It is thought that Bruce may have traveled to the Escambia County area recently and may be frequenting Pensacola area hotel or motels.

Bruce’s upper body is covered with tattoos with several relating to views of white supremacy. Bruce is a registered career criminal in the state of Florida with an ultra violent criminal history, according to law enforcement. Bruce is a white male, approximately six feet tall, weighing about 180 pounds with blue eyes, and brown hair.

Bruce is thought to be armed and dangerous and should not be approached if thought to be seen. If anyone has information on Bruce’s whereabouts, they are asked to immediately contact the U.S. Marshal’s Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force investigators at (850) 527-9395 or (850) 554-6602 or local law enforcement.

    If he is a registered career criminal, then why isnt he out on the streets to begin with????? Says alot with our justice system. Its the bad ones that get slapped on the wrist and sent back out to do it again and again, and first offenders get stiffer punishments. Calling all men in white coats! put his butt in the straight jacket and lock his butt in a padded room for a bit and then put him in solitary confinement in the big house for life.

    REGARDING:
    “Bruce is a registered career criminal in the state of Florida with an ultra violent criminal history”

    REGISTERED CAREER CRIMINAL??

    Probably too late to be a registered florist.

    Anyhoo, this is the kind of person for which the three strikes laws were written.

    David for segregation of violent from non-violent
    wondering how Bruce’s cell mates will enjoy him

    I was wondering the same thing, EMD. Our Judicial system is really a mess.

    I won’t “approach” him. I can hit a target from 25 yards pretty good with hollow points.

    If this man has an ultra violent criminal history, why is he not locked up for life? Why are people like this, turned loose to do more harm? Does not make sense.

    You can run, but you can’t hide. Just look, you’re a “MARKED” man. YOU just better pray that the Marshalls find you first. You run into good old brother bubba in these parts and he’ll save the Marshalls a whole lot of time.
