Manhunt Near Cottage Hill Turns Up Empty

April 21, 2011

A Thursday morning manhunt for a burglary suspect near Cottage Hill turned up empty.

Neighbors reported someone in a shed on Stacey Road near Highway 95A about 8:45 a.m. When an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy arrived moments later, a while male ran out of the shed. The deputy gave chase but lost the suspect in a wooded area.

Deputies set up a perimeter around the area on Stacey Road, Coweta Road and Highway 95A as they searched for the suspect. A K-9 unit was also used in an attempt to located the suspect, who remained at large as of 10:45 a.m.

The suspect was described as a white male wearing a blue t-shirt, blue jeans and black gloves. He is between 5-foot 7-inches and 5-foot 9-inches tall.

Anyone with information on the crime should call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

    OMG…that sounds like the way I’m dressed! I’m not wearing black gloves at the moment, but it could be me!!!

    I would have never suspected myself of being in a shed, though.
