    The cops did you a favor young man. If you would have walked into my house while I was home, you would not be walking out alive. I wouldn’t even think twice to help the community out and get this scum off the street for good.

    In no defense to Logan at all… He is wrong, there are many more crimes that he’s committed & there are many things that in time, will be revealed… Yes he will have to pay. It’s not just Logan doing the dirty dealing, breaking in, stealing… We have a lot of dirt bags running around this town doing the same darn thing, it was finally just his time to get caught.. So when I see people saying “thank you Logan” for making them paranoid/worried/etc. No, you thank ALL of the dirt rats around here, all of your ‘misplaced’ or ’stolen’ items.. You don’t know where they went, if YOU did misplace them or any other situation that could have happened.. You file your missing belongings, if it helps you sleep better at night than try to throw some more charges in his face.. But I completely disagree with your accusations, you don’t know where it went or who took it, for all you know a crook could’ve been your closet relative.. NO ONE KNOWS. Once there’s evidence, proven facts… Then throw him under a little more, rag all you want. But as for now, you don’t know.

    Prayers to the family, y’all are a great one & maybe one day Logan will get his ducks in a row.

    So lets remedy this problem and restrict the sale of gold and silver. Also, pawn shops need more regulation. Every street corner has a shop that will buy the stolen merchandise. They know it’s stolen from a nice household, but buy it because they are crooks, too! Sheriff candidates need to make this an issue. Keep busting, but start controlling the substance in their community. Close these gold and silver /pawn shops. Don’t u think there are too many around?

    He seemed like he was a really good person in high-school I believe. It’s crazy how fast someone can change in just a few years. I’m positive that he knew what he was doing was WRONG!

    I want to thank you LOGAN BANKS for making me paranoid in my own home & for the devastation for the loss of my grandmothers wedding set. These items meant nothing to you but EVERYTHING TO ME!! People tryt o blame the state of society for your pathetic lifestyle. We have choices, you made them so now may you pay for them.
    You lived on my street for several years and i waived neighborly as I passed by.

    @ Mrs Judy…REALLY??? No one has mentioned his FAMILY, this is not about them. Its a little hard to dig deep and find a little sympathy for even what his family is growing thru. I am quite sure they feel bad and are extremely ashamed. I sat in church and played with my grannys hands with these rings on. They were to be passed down to my daughter who was named after her so you will have to excuse MY DISGUST, ANGER, BITTERNESS & LACK OF SYMPATHY

    There were some burglaries in a neighborhood north of Muskogee Road around the holidays. Any idea if this guy was involved? Any connection?

  7. ranchero302me on July 27th, 2012 8:29 am

    abt time iv been waiting 3 mnths for him and his freind to go to jail, one down one to go, stole my system out of my truck, was seen 5 hours before asking my brother when i was coming home like i said one down one to go, i guess he cant follow me around anymore lol

  8. Ms. Judy on July 27th, 2012 7:24 am

    I know this family very well. It’s a sad situation. Let’s have a little respect for the family. They can not control ones actions. Let’s just pray that the others involved with him in these crimes come forward and not let this young man go to prison for them. He needs to pay for what he has done but he does not need to pay for what others has done. I pray for the Banks family.

    There are lots of “nice guys” and “smart guys” in jails everywhere. Too bad he didn’t use his talents differently.

  10. Lauren on July 26th, 2012 10:35 pm

    Holy crap!! I went to school with him!!! What the heck was he thinking???!!!!!

  11. popo on July 26th, 2012 10:30 pm

  12. Britt on July 26th, 2012 9:51 pm

  13. getg on July 26th, 2012 9:39 pm

  14. Jrrset21 on July 26th, 2012 6:33 pm

    He robbed me and I am glad they got him.. He is sorry and needs to rot in there…I just want my gun that he stole back that would be nice!!

  15. rat 'em out on July 26th, 2012 5:42 pm

    If ANYTHING has been stolen from you, especially in the Cantonment area, report it!! Give them any names…pile on the charges. You didn’t misplace the item you can’t locate, it was stolen! We want these thieves to get more than DRUG COURT and COMMUNITY CONTROL…

  16. chrste on July 26th, 2012 4:41 pm

    Oh! He resides on Winners Circle…I think he needs to stay where he is at. The Losers Castle.

  17. James Randall on July 26th, 2012 4:09 pm

    Too bad he didn’t bust into the wrong house at the right time. He wouldn’t be sitting in a jail cell he’d be taking the “old dirt nap”.

  18. JUST SAYING on July 26th, 2012 4:09 pm

    HOPE IF YOU KNOW THIS GUY AND HE HAS ROBBED YOU OR YOUR FAMILY OR YOU EVEN THINK HE HAS, YOU CONTACT THE ESCO. OR YOUR DETECTIVE IF YOU HAVE BEEN ROBBED LIKE I HAVE. TOP OF MY LIST TO DO TOMORROW MORNING. ITS TIME TO PAY FOR THE SUFFERING THIS PERSON AND HIS ASSOCIATES INFLICT. NO REGARD FOR ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES. NO RESPECT. NO LOYALTY.. THESE PEOPLE ARE PROUD OF WHAT THEY DO. THEY REP IT! STAY TRILL, SAVAGE DAT. THATS WHAT THEY ARE PROUD OF. TAKE THEM ALL DOWN EACH AND EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. THANK YOU.

  19. Darko Sladovic on July 26th, 2012 4:07 pm

    He does not live far from me. I was wondering who was breaking into my neighbors’ homes. I was wondering if he was going to pay me a visit…..and meet my friends: Glock, Remington and Sig Sauer.

  20. JUST SAYING on July 26th, 2012 4:03 pm

    @HURT. SAME THING HAPPENED AT MY HOUSE AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY SUSPECTS. ALL THE JEWELRY AND LAPTOPS ALONG WITH A FEW MISC ITEMS HERE AND THERE ARE GONE. THE INHERITED ITEMS ARE WHAT HURTS. EVERYTHING ELSE CAN BE REPLACED. REALLY TAKES SCUM OF THE EARTH TO DO THAT. SAD PART IS I KNOW I WONT SEE IT AGAIN BECAUSE ALL OF IT WAS GOLD SO THEY COULD MELT AND MAKE SOME MONEY, DIAMONDS WHICH YOU CAN SELL ON THE STREET OR PAWN. ITS REALLY SAD.

  21. HURT on July 26th, 2012 3:46 pm

    If this is the person who kicked in my door, forced thier way in by pushing items out of the way, terrified my 2 little dogs, touched my personal belongings, stole mine & my daughters jewelry, including my grandmothers wedding set , may you ROT in the cell you are in. May you never get out. How ashamed your family must be of you. People work hard for the things they have. How dare you damage thier property and steal from them because you are a pathetic individual.

  22. just saying on July 26th, 2012 3:37 pm

    FYI his brother is a cop maybe he will be able to help him….hope NOT

  23. happyhouse on July 26th, 2012 2:55 pm

    Cantonment needs to be clean of these hoodlums…items won’t be recovered…gold and silver shops take and destroy everything. Not to mention the guys who will meet you anywhere and buy your stolen goods, no questions ask. Yes, there are some in Cantonment! Hopefully there are enough charges to put this guy away. You never know with our court system these days. Seems like its who you know downtown!

  24. KARMA on July 26th, 2012 1:51 pm

    Him and his cousin robbed a person she (his cousin) was staying with and im pretty sure they robbed another house that i know of too. may they all get the justice they deserve prison!!!! you cant help some people. some people are hopeless.

  25. brandi on July 26th, 2012 1:14 pm

    Thank God he God arrested, him and his friend (who lives right across the street) broke into my boyfriends truck, and stole his speakers and stereo!

  26. MIKE O. on July 26th, 2012 12:34 pm

    This guy should be extremely greatful for being locked up. It was only a matter of time before his luck ran out, and he broke into the wrong house. There are more gun owners than not in our county.

  27. glad day on July 26th, 2012 12:30 pm

    Glad to see our ECSO at work and doing a fine job, as usual, but now it’s up to the courts to KEEP this scumbag off of the streets. That’s where I get discouraged :(

  28. Name (required) on July 26th, 2012 10:10 am

    Great work ECSO! Glad this guy is off the streets!

    He is quite fortunate to have been picked up… home invasion in this ‘Stand your Ground’ state is risky business indeed….

  29. Stephen on July 26th, 2012 9:58 am

    And someone will say condone this and say how he is a great guy in 3, 2, 1…

    This just adds to the 6 open cases he already has.

  30. mom on July 26th, 2012 9:41 am

    GET A JOB …stop thinking the world owes YOU!

  31. bussssssted on July 26th, 2012 9:00 am

    This KID is well known around the pensacola area…so glad they got this low life off the streets…

  32. john on July 26th, 2012 8:56 am

    Wow

  33. MESMERIZED on July 26th, 2012 8:33 am

    You get what you put in. Hope this individual gets the karma he deserves along with the rest of the low down people in this town.One more off the streets. Streets are getting more clean everyday. Its sad when you have to steal from someone who has worked hard for themselves and obtained it the right way. I have personally been robbed and there are somethings, that no amount of money in the world can replace. People like this that break into houses and rob people need to be in prison. its just a stepping stone to other things. I hope you get what you deserve buddy and that some of the people robbed get peace of mind and or possessions back would be a bonus. Highly unlikely but a bonus.
