Arrest Made In Weekend Homicide
July 27, 2011
Escambia County deputies have arrested a 25-year old man in connection with a weekend homicide on Mitchell Lane in the Bellview community.
Christopher Eugene Stallworth was arrested on suspicion of homicide in connection with the beating death of a 65-yearold man.
Stallworth was arrested Tuesday night after he was interviewed by investigators.
On Sunday at around 9:48 p.m. deputies were called to a home in the 5000 block of Mitchell Lane after a brother-in-law found the victim lying on the living room floor.
When officers arrived, they found the badly beaten body of Jerry Wayne Ledden.
“The autopsy revealed that Mr. Ledden suffered blunt force trauma,” said sheriff’s office spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn. “He was badly beaten during what appears to be a home invasion robbery.”
According to investigators, Stallworth is also a suspect in a burglary to Ledden’s residence two months ago where several guns were stolen. In the most recent burglary Stallworth stole Ledden’s Cadillac and is believed to have taken another gun and Ledden’s cell phone.
The Pensacola Police Department has arrested Donna Faye Anderson for fraud after she tried to use Ledden’s bank card at Wal-Mart on July 23. Deputies say Anderson, 37, traveled to Wal-Mart with Stallworth in Ledden’s vehicle.
“This case is still under investigation,” said Welborn. “Both Stallworth and Anderson are expected to face additional charges.”
