Man Charged After Alleged Drunken Dispute With Estranged Wife

February 7, 2012

An alleged drunken dispute with his estranged wife over the weekend landed a Cantonment man behind bars.

John James Orcutt, age 28 of Schifko Road, was charged with disorderly intoxication, burglary of an unoccupied vehicle, petit theft and resisting an officer without violence.

Saturday afternoon, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to disturbance call on Mills Avenue off Gulf Beach Highway where they found Orcutt and his estranged wife arguing in the middle of the street.  The responding deputy said  Ocrutt yelled an expletive at him multiple times before he was taken into custody.

The victim told deputies that she and Orcutt had been separated for several weeks and that he had broken into her mother’s 1999 pickup truck, taking personal belongings  and throwing them to the ground, taking $300 which he later returned and taking her driver’s license.

Deputies found the pickup with its tailgate down and several items, including a hubcap, clothing and a driver’s license removed from the vehicle and tossed about.

While Orcutt was being transported to the Escambia County Jail, he told the deputy that he had been drinking a lot and had taken three Xanax bars before breaking into the vehicle because he was mad, according to the arrest report.

Orcutt was released from the Escambia County Jail Monday on a $4,000 bond.

    just fyi a xanax bar is shaped like a bar instead of oval or round or square, its rectangle but is the same size any other small pill. It would depend on what this mans body was used to having in him in order to see if would have affected him in that way or not. If a person i used to abusing all the time then this would not have any influence on him doing anything negative or positive. This guy needs to go to a drug rehad and get some serious psychological help.

    Xanax is a strong anti-anxiety pill… I’ve taken them myself and I’m surprised he could even stand up after the 3 bars, much less any amount of alcohol on top of them…

    If you are trying to repair a relationship here’s a suggestion. Getting drunk and destroying property probably won’t help.
