Cantonment Man Charged With Twice Threatening To Kill Deputies

June 8, 2012

A Cantonment man has been charged with twice threatening to kill an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy.

Roney Gailyard, age 53 of Cedar Tree Lane, was charged with two counts of felony counts of corruption by threat against a public servant and a misdemeanor count of trespassing.

According to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, Gailyard was “trespass warned” Wednesday morning and told to stay away from the Regions Bank on Nine Mile Road near Highway 29. After deputies checked his identification, his ID card was returned to him, and he was told to leave the property and stay away.

About two minutes later, Gailyard proceeded back onto the property and attempted to enter the bank, telling deputies that he forgot his identification. He was placed under arrest for trespassing.

On the way to the jail, Gailyard became very irate in the back of the patrol car and began screaming racial slurs and obscenities, according to the report. Gailyard then made an obscenity-laced threat to kill the deputies if they were to ever try to arrest him again. He then repeated the threat to the two deputies in the patrol car at least two more more times, the arrest report states.

    The article reads, “About two minutes later, Gailyard proceeded back onto the property and attempted to enter the bank”. So, he was arrested for going back after he was told to leave. What was so hard to figure that one out?

    I If he was told to stay away—-he should have done so-thats the trouble with society now-no respect for the law or the cops.

    REGARDING:
    “How do you trespass in a parking lot?”

    Parking lots are private property intended to serve the customers of the owners. If the owners don’t want certain people on their property, they can forbid them to enter their property, even the parking lots. If people come on property without permission, that is trespass.

    David for respecting property rights
