Two Charged With Stealing, Selling ‘61 Ford, ‘64 Mustang As Scrap
November 1, 2011
Two Century men are charged with stealing a 1961 Ford truck and a 1964 Ford Mustang from a home in Bratt and selling them as scrap.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office charged 32-year old Jessie James Tedder and Brandon Lee Lambeth, both of Century, with felony grand theft of a motor vehicle. Both were released from jail on $2,500 bond.
The victim reported that he planned to restore the two classic vehicles that were in a state of disrepair when they were taken from a home in the 3600 block of West Highway 4. The victim told deputies that he found the remnants of the vehicles at Advanced Auto Recycling in Escambia County, Ala.
According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, both Tedder and Lambeth admitted in writing to deputies that they took the vehicles from the victim’s property and sold them for scrap.

REGARDING:
“I pray that god will judge each and everyone of you with the heartlessness and cruelty you sit here and persecute my brother with ”
I don’t know which one’s your brother but it seems at least one is accused of fooling the other into thinking their actions were legal. Maybe they’re both completely innocent and no theft actually occurred. Me not know.
Still, it’s interesting you are praying the Lord rain down fire and brimstone along with eternal damnation on those who condemned the concept of theft. Also interesting to claim that disagreeing with stealing is persecution. Mighty nonjudgmental of you.
Shame on them. But wait, saying shame on them might be persecution and here we go again.
David contemplating condemnations
First off …What happened to inicient until proving guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brothers only real crime was trusting that people are good and the truth is everyone including all of you who sit here and judge with out knowing the real story which of course they are not gonna put on here cause that dont sell, have mean and cruel ways about you. But say what you will I pray that god will judge each and everyone of you with the heartless ness and cruelty you sit here and persicuet my brother with cause you dont know him…. but hes the kind of person who see someone broke down and helps with out pay or gives you his food so you wont be hungry. So you should look in the mirror and ask are we so perfect that we should play god. I know I am not!!!
My husband Is not no criminal he dont have a criminal background he is a good man and loves his family and has tried to make this stuff right.. I know an apology doesn’t mean much anymore but he is very sorry and has offered more than that to try to make this right dont know about the other two but i do know 1 of them is sorry but my husband had just got laid off and a man had told him he could get them cars for helping him and he wouldnt of got them if he knew the guy wasnt who he said he was..Just trying to make some money to support his family like a man should.. But just to let yall know yall have the wrong impression of brandon he aint wat yall r saying just got caught up in a mess… I love my husabnd and will stand behind him until this is over.. He is a great husband and an great dad of 5 kids…
We may never know the color of a mans heart, we can only judge him by his actions. I remember seeing those vehicles on the #4. They would just kind of catch your eye, as you drive by. To just drive onto someones property and steal two works of love. I think we need a shoot, to kill law. Expect to see more and more audacious crimes, against property and person, as the economy worsens.
To bugsgranny, do not presume to know that these men have ‘habits’ as u say. Unless you personally know someones situation, don’t automatically come to the conclusion that they’re into other bad things. I don’t condone what they did ans I know for a fact at least one of them was raised better, but don’t judge what u don’t know.
First off,,,,Jessie, you are giving the people with the last name Tedder sound bad or stupid,,,U were raised better than stealing…. The Two you of all people should know that an 1964 mustang is an classic an 1961 ford is an classic….You now are facing jail time or prison over fast money…JUST DUMB…..just saying what everybody else is thinking…..
These young men knew this was wrong…wrong…wrong….it was not desperation to put food in the house or keep the power on…we all work to make sure we have these things…but they chose to steal from someone to feed their other habit or habits….I’m sure there is more than one.
You can’t fix stupid, but you can sue the scrapyard!
people should be at least be required to show proof they are the rightful owner before they can sell or transfer a vehicle……………………………
My condolences to the Tedder and Lambeth families. They are fine people and these boys/men were not raised this way. They knew they needed to ask for the old vehicles instead of stealing them. The junk yards are getting better at catching criminals these days, and that is great! And common sense is becoming more and more uncommon.
CONCERNING:
“Alabama now requires you have to have the title in order to scrap a vehicle made after 1975. So a pre-1975 vehicle is still fair game.”
So where did my one-time-only deer-collider 1979 Datsun B210 station wagon go when it disappeared from my property on McBride Road if neither Alabama nor Florida would accept it as scrap? Come to think of it, I gave away a couple of other junkers and nobody sought the title then either.
David the mystified
Well, my, my, David H Green. I had that same thought. Miracles never cease. LOL
So for $250.00 they get to get out of jail. Just goes to show you there is no
justice anymore. These creeps should be sitting down there cooling their
jets in the jail house and have to wait for their sentence, now they will just
be out casing more of us to rob. They haven’t learned anything and they
aren’t going to either.
Thanks Judge!
Them Chevy people will do that to a Ford..J/K
Alabama now requires you have to have the title in order to scrap a vehicle made after 1975. So a pre-1975 vehicle is still fair game.
2 very nice classic vehicles that will never see the road again. Those are super sweet rides to restore.
They probably got a couple hundred a piece for scrap… restored worth 10-15 grand each easy.
I feel bad for the victim, I’d be beside myself if my 67 Mustang fast back was scrapped when I had it.
A 64 Mustang as scrap??!! Now that is criminal.
Here’s your sign because you just can’t fix stupid! By the way, how much did these two knuckle heads get for the cars, 50 bucks each?
Two more from the shallow end of the gene pool.
So now they are out on bond to steal something else?
somebody looked at a little bitty baby and named him Jessie James?
Out on bond. Satisfaction is a pound of flesh.
