Grand Theft Auto, Burglary Charges Dropped Against Century Man

September 15, 2011

Charges have been dropped against a  man accused of stealing a car that he says his “homeboy” gave him.

Terryvon Floyd Washington, 20, of Pond Street, Century, was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and petty theft. According to Escambia County Clerk of the Circuit Court records, those charges were dropped.

A Pensacola woman reported her 2005 Pontiac Grand Am stolen from her apartment off Blue Angel Parkway. Deputies checked and determined the vehicle had been towed on July 7. The victim said her vehicle had been repossessed, but she retrieved it after catching up all of her payments. She also reported that the keys to the car were missing off her kitchen table. There were no obvious signs of a burglary the apartment, the report states.

The vehicle was stopped a short time later in the area of Caribbean and Coral Creek Drives. Washington was driving the vehicle and had the stolen keys in his possession, according to Escambia County deputies.

Washington told deputies, according to the arrest report, that “he did not beak into anything and he got the car from his homeboy”.

Washington remained in the Escambia County Jail early Thursday morning serving a 10 day sentence on an unrelated trespassing charge.
