Molino Man Charged With Home Invasion, Armed Burglary

September 8, 2011

A Molino man is behind bars with bond set at more than a quarter million dollars for a list of crimes, including home invasion robbery and armed burglary.

Troy Edward Massey, 47, of Barth Lane, was arrested after a brief manhunt and foot chase following a burglary on Fairway Drive in Pensacola. A man and wife came home to discover Massey in their apartment, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report. He fled on foot, leaving behind two suitcases that he had packed full  of silver platters, silver utensils, silver drinking cups, a fur coat, currency and a gold bracelet. He had also allegedly packed another bag with a .22 caliber rifle and 13 bottles of alcohol.

He was charged with armed burglary, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, grand theft, criminal mischief and resisting arrest without violence. He remained in the Escambia County Jail early Thursday morning with bond set at $277,570.

At the time of his arrest for the Pensacola burglary, Massey had outstanding warrants for home invasion robbery, aggravated assault and petty theft.

On August 20, deputies responded to Bamer Holley Lane where a resident reported Massey barged into her home armed with a paring knife just after 10 p.m., yelling “You have to hide me” and “You have to save me”.  The resident reported  Massey looked through her cabinets and purse before fleeing on foot. A short time later on nearby Brickyard Road, another resident reported a person matching Massey’s description had attempted to enter their home while saying that he was being followed.

A subsequent manhunt on August 20 turned up empty, and warrants were issued for Massey’s arrest.

    This basically is what this guy have done all his adult life. Several short prison terms but no lesson learned. Several judges slapped his wrist and let him off easy.

    To those who make the comment about feeding and housing this person, sometimes it worth it to keep them locked away. If this guy were chinese or eastern europe he would get the death penalty with no appeal and execution in 30 days or less

    I’m learning chinese. Boc Choy anyone?

    This is my brother’s dad…ya know. I don’t know why he has always been like this. Really, so conniving. It makes me sick. At this point, he gets what he asked for. He rampaged into my godmother’s house (one of those “home invasions”) I am sick of people like this. I live around them every day. He’s 47 and has never kept a job, and never wanted to. Deadbeat and don’t even care. Well we don’t either!

    At least he gets 3 hots and a cot now, at our expense. God Bless America, ship the jobs to other countries for cheaper pay so our unemployment keeps diving, and make the prison system a money maker for politicians and other state officials, locking up the broke and desperate.

    It is a shame that this person thinks it is ok to take from others instead of doing an honest days work. I should know, he stole from me and my neighbor. Why is it he can steal and rob people and not do any hard time and someone else can put a sign in their yard and go to prison for 5 years? I believe he is past the point of rehab and needs to be behind bars for the rest of his days. The crimes he committed this time are only fueling the fire for him to hurt someone or kill them next time.LOCK HIM UP!!!!!!!!!!

    Call the ACLU to post your bond. After all, it is an invasion of your private space to be caught with your hand in someone else’s pocket. And of course, you can use any forceful means necessary to obtain your ill-gotten bounty…….Said with sarcasm.

    “You Have To Hide Me, You Have To Save Me”. Mr Massey I would tell you to call, on the Lord, I guess you best call to someone you know. Thank the Lord no one was killed.
