Two Arrested For Burglary After Attempting Getaway On Scooter
June 24, 2011
Two Escambia County men were arrested Thursday morning after allegedly burglarizing a home and making their getaway on a motor scooter.
At around 10:17 a.m. this morning, deputies responded to the report of a burglary in progress in the 5000 block of Mifflin Street.
“According to a witness, the two kicked in the front door of the residence before being startled and fleeing,” said sheriff’s office spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn.
The caller described the suspects to a dispatcher, telling the dispatcher that the two men were leaving the neighborhood on a motor scooter.
As Deputy Wayne Meadows was responding to the call, he noticed the scooter being ridden down Michigan Avenue by two men fitting the suspect description. Deputy Meadows was able to stop the scooter and identified the men as Qavontae Machell Lang and Jordan Donovon Scott, both 18.
An investigation into the burglary revealed that Lang and Scott had caused about $1,200 worth of damage to the Mifflin Street home. It was not yet clear as to what may had been taken out of the residence. Property crime investigators believe that Lang and Scott are suspects in other area burglaries and questioned the two men after their arrest.
“This is a great example of how community cooperation, coupled with great teamwork from our patrol deputies and our investigators, can help fight this type of crime,” said Welborn. “The witnesses were our eyes and ears in this case and the credit for these arrests goes to them.”
The two men were charged with criminal mischief, burglary and possession of burglary tools. They were being held at the Escambia County Jail on just over $100,000 bond each.
