Bank Of Brewton Robbed
February 17, 2012
The main branch of the Bank of Brewton was robbed Friday afternoon.
Brewton Police have released few details about the early afternoon robbery at 103 Belleville Avenue.
Investigators indicated that the suspect or suspects fled the bank. A manhunt followed involving multiple agencies including the Brewton Police Department, East Brewton Police Department, the Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff’s Office, a K-9 team from the Century Correctional Institution and the FBI.
The only description provided by police so far is that the suspect is black, but it was unknown if they were male or female due to the disguise that was used. The suspect reportedly walked into the rear entrance of the bank off a public boardwalk.
“This isn’t your normal situation,” Lt. Brock Holt of the Brewton Police Department said.

The getaway vehicle must have had an enormous payload capacity,
Looks like a new movie to me” Madea’s robs the bank”. LOL
REGARDING:
“To ms b,
WHAD ID U SAYYY”
Please allow me to attempt to translate “dont kno y you all are sitting here blaming other people but and wht does president obama have to do with this it is jus plane stupid and there is no one to blame but the idiots tht do the stuff tht they do jus to make an easy dollar if yall wnt to blame people blame the bank tellers tht work at the bank duh!!!!!!!!!” into a more standard form of English:
“I don’t know why all of you are sitting here blaming other people.
“What does President Obama have to do with this?
It is just plainly stupid to do so because the only ones to blame are the idiots that do the stuff (steal, rob banks) which they do just to make an easy dollar.
“If y’all want to blame people, blame the bank tellers that work at the bank. Duh.”
(note: “Duh” means it is intuitively obvious to the casual observer)
Back to me — I may have mistranslated some of it, but think I got the gist of it. I’m not certain why the bank tellers would be to blame or why it would be so obvious as to deserve a “Duh” and I can only loosely imagine our president being to blame if he accused those with money of being greedy about not sharing it with the more deserving. It’s a natural outgrowth of “the potato chip controversy”.
I would have to agree with the writer that bank robbers are trying to get money without working for it honestly.
David trying to be helpful,
hoping robber is apprehended and repents
Times are very hard for everyone no one is to blame for this person action
Anyone on here making a joke of a bank robbery needs to grow up! If you only knew what that teller could be going through emotionally…if it was your family or a friend you wouldn’t be making medea nor political jokes about such a serious matter! Prayers to everyone involoved and im glad there was no physical harm…!
Hey Jimbo Chris Dawson was trying to refute the inane comments left by Christopher Scott by someone blaming President Obama’s followers for causing this bank robbery. If you follow the comments you will see what is going on and others who also posted comments.
Both political parties are 2 heads of the same snake.
Both have sold you out and driven the debt up.
BUsh was just as bad as Obama.
Vote them all out , except for Ron Paul and people like him.
As for the bank robber, he/she most likely an obama voter.
To ms b,
WHAD ID U SAYYY
Really do think it’s a black suspect they should be looking for, It looks like a white male painted with dark makeup, because he has gloves and long sleeves to cover other skin showing and the afro. I really don’t think a black person would have went to that extreme they could have just put on a stocking cap, to cover their face.
dont kno y you all are sitting here blaming other people but and wht does president obama have to do with this it is jus plane stupid and there is no one to blame but the idiots tht do the stuff tht they do jus to make an easy dollar if yall wnt to blame people blame the bank tellers tht work at the bank duh!!!!!!!!!
Its funny how this man or women didnt stike the least bit of suspicion to the workers…..they couldva prevented him from getting away with our money if they would have been paying attention…..
In 2000-2001 Gas went from 99cent per gallon to well over $3.00 per gallon prior to 2007 while george bush was in office, this is the same time that groceries skyrocketed due to fuel and transport….jimbo do alittle more research next time…this recession has been going on since war after the 9/11 attacks…robberies are nothing new, and whats up with the afro wig and paint
When you allow people to police themselves you are just asking for
stealing, it doesn’t matter if it’s police or congress. Vote them out or get
them fired …those are your options. If money gets tight, get another JOB.
HEY THERE’S another option.
What no one has an option to do is steal from me and my family
Who said it is because Obama was president? THERE IS NEVER an excuse to steal from me, my family or anyone else.
What to many of you don’t understand is YOU are the government,
and it is your money that is used to guarantee those bank funds
that are stolen, lost or anything else. You are just stealing from yourselves.
IGNORANT HUH~
Maybe you don’t mind people stealing from you any time they want but I
certainly do, so would you mind then LISTING YOUR ADDRESS ON HERE,
so from now on they can come to YOUR HOUSE and then you can excuse it.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO STEAL. THAT’S ALL IT IS …..AN EXCUSE.
I’m not their mommy so I don’t want to hear it. Times are tough for everyone
but most of us don’t go around stealing from everyone else. We tighten
our BELT, get ANOTHER JOB, GROW UP AND TOUGH IT OUT.
Stop making excuses for the BABIES OF THE WORLD.
100% agree Chris Dawson!!!!
@ Chris Dawson. Since O took office, the price of gold has doubled. That means the Fed and Dept. of Treasury has printed Billions of dollars and watered down the value of cash. Since that’s a more effective form of robbery than the one demonstrated in this Brewton bank, I think the president, his cabinet, and the whole Senate and most of the house of Representatives belong in jail for what they’ve done. If you’re looking for someone to blame, blame Sen. Dodd and Rep. Barney Frank for pushing for the home loans for any and everyone who could not pay the banks back and causing our housing market to bubble, then burst. Bush warned of this 4 times during his last term in office. Please bother to educate yourself before you spew. BTW, the story was about a bank robbery.
looks like a painted face to me, look closely and you can clearly see that… I don’t think they should be looking for a black male!
After seeing that thing walk thru the door the silent alarm should have been activated. And to Christopher Scott; your comment is about ignorant as they come. If you want to talk politics find another article to comment on. Bank robberies go back to the days of the old west. And I know for a fact their was no Obama in office then. I guess you would blame that president for that too. Oh btw your president GWB got this country into this mess. I bet you wasn’t complaining on society greed on victimizing innocent people then.
Are yout trying to say that people just started robbing banks since Obama became persident. To my knowledge gas prices have been on the rise since Huricane Katrina, I dont think he was president then either. People are not robbing banks because f the economy, it’s because of ignorance. I work hard everyday and barely can ends meet, but I have never considered robbing a bank or anyone else.
The longer we keep the present President in the White House, the more of this we are going to see!!!!! Heck yea its wrong, and I sure hope they catch em,but this messed up economy,the price of gas,food,ect…, and divison of the country, aint gonna help nothing! And it does not have anything to do with him being part African, it’s because he just honestly,don’t know what the heck he’s doing! But I know what he is doing. He’s leading people to resort to desperate measures like this!!!
Lets Please vote to get him out of the White House in 2012!>>> Santorum is the man we need!!!
I’m sorry but they say they’re looking for a black suspect..but you can clearly see that this is a painted black/brown face…plus they used an afro wig to further make you believe that they were black.
The facial features are not even conducive to African Americans, particularly men.
OMG what is that that would have skeered the mess out of me.
EJ got that right!!! We pay the biggest thieves in the country.
Thats Madea!!!!!!!!
tracy—-Then everyone from the White House to the Senate and House belongs behind bars.
No matter the reason..they need to be put behind bars for a long time! ! Stealing is wrong!
That is really sad. People are at the point of robbing banks to survive. Unless its to feed their drug habbits then they need to be put behind bars for a long time.
