CRIME — Man Convicted In Drunken Dispute With Estranged Wife

June 25, 2012

A Cantonment man has been convicted on two misdemeanor charges after a drunken dispute with his estranged wife.

John James Orcutt, age 28 of Schifko Road, was found guilty of disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence. Felony charges of burglary of an unoccupied vehicle and petit theft were dismissed. Orcutt was sentenced to 12 months probation and 30 hours of community service.

In early February, 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.

    EMD, It’s a 2mg Xanax. Commonly referred to as a “Xan-bar” due to it’s shape. And Kathy, you are 110% correct….he for sure should explore options other than alcohol to take his meds with. lol!
