Two Caught Stealing Copper
September 15, 2011
Two men are facing a multitude of charges after being caught stealing copper from a trailer south of Jay.
Florida Fish and Wildlife officer David Jernigan responded to a call about a suspicious truck at a trailer near Penton Road and Dusty Trail in the Allentown community. He heard two men inside the trailer and arrested them as they walked outside.
Tremaine Donnell Beasley, age 29 of Pensacola, and 22-year old Matthew Brent Fiquett of Milton, were charged with burglary, possession of burglary tools, larceny and criminal mischief. Fiquett remained in the Santa Rosa County Jail early Thursday morning without bond, while Beasley was held with bond set at $17,000.
Jernigan said more than 80 feet of copper wire was stripped from the trailer.

a BIG kuddos to the neighbor who was paying attention and then, made the call to the authorities….thats what happens when neighbors watch out for neighbors…thats why i belong to a NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH group!…crime in escambia county continues to be a challenging effort for our law enforcement agencies….due to budget constraints, there are only so many police/sheriffs deputies…thats why ordinary citizens need to step up and do their part by looking out for each other and reporting suspicious goings on….im also currently participating in the CLEA (citizens law enforcement academy) program (sponsored by the ESCAMBIA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE) thats held down at the leonard street station…i would encourage anyone that has a concern for keeping their community a safer place to look into attending as well…(they have a new academy every three month and you have to pass a background check first)…its been a tremendous eye-opener into the many, many aspects of the “behind the scene” law enforcement activities that most of the public are unaware of….knowledge is strength and thats what we need to help better our communities in these days
Looks like from Tremaine’s hair he forgot to turn off the electricity before he grabbed that wire. ZZZZZaaaapppaaa
good for them! rarely are the copper thieves caught unless they try to sell it right around the corner.
DUMB AND DUMBER…….The real story….
Two down. Mr Beasley reminds me of that joker from Star Wars with the double ended light saber. May the force be with you two thieves, and work you hard.
Looks like the Beasley boy might have cut into a live wire somewhere ???
Seems like you take a pair off the street…another pair shows up
Oh-Tay
The little rascals are back. Love you guys.
I wonder if these are the guys that been stripping the copper out of the cell towers and the AC units?? good job david
