Man Facing Felony Charge For Selling Stolen Puppy For $50
May 14, 2012
A Cantonment man is facing a second degree felony charge for allegedly selling a stolen pit bull puppy for $50.
Michael Bryant, age 54 of Lake Drive, was charged with dealing in stolen property. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on $2,500 bond.
He was arrested last week for an incident that occurred January 12. A resident of Robinson Street reported that her pit bull puppy — black in color with a white patch under his chin — had been stolen. The victim later located her puppy at a home on Washington Street. The person with the puppy claimed they had purchased it for $50 from Bryant, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report. The purchaser of the puppy told deputies that he wanted his $50 back.
Both parties agreed they wanted to press charged against Bryant, according to the report.

YO BOB…Regardless of the Politicians, this guy Stole someones Puppy and then ripped off the other party by selling them a Stolen Puppy. Regardless of it being $50, I am sure the owners were more upset than just $50 bucks. And I bet if it had been your puppy, you would have been yelling in the streets!
Lake Drive. Why is it hard to believe?
What is hard to believe is that the State Attorneys office has never found one politician guilty but they will go after this guy over $50 bucs. Sad state of affairs.
Lake Drive? Hard to believe….
