Deputies Recover Burglar’s Finger At Crime Scene

July 26, 2012

The story of an early morning burglar that left his finger behind  is definitely not for the squeamish.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a J&J Towing on Pace Boulevard when a 15-year old’s finger was cut off by the barbed wire that lines the top of an eight-foot fence around the facility.

Deputies say the suspect jumped the fence and realized he had lost his finger. He climbed back over the fence and began yelling for help and asking two witnesses to help him look for his finger.

The witnesses called an ambulance. When EMS arrived, it was determined that the finger was still inside the fenced in area of the business. A deputy responded, collected the finger and turned it over to EMS. The suspect and his finger were taken to a local hospital.

Charges are pending against the 15-year old at this time. His name has not been released pending his arrest due to his age.

    The kid just can’t be blamed here. If his widdle butt had been spanked a few more times and his parents had kept a better eye on him, he’d still have ALL his digits.

    Guess us taxpayers will save 10% on the next fingerprinting of this kid.
    And likely there will be a next one……

    Bird,
    true but what do you think the chances are this parasite or his parents have health insurance? The taxpayers always pay for people like this.

    If they wait to arrest him after treatment, the county is off the hook for the medical bill. toechet ; )

    Poor kid.
    He preyed on others and then realized he needed them to make him whole.
    There’s a lesson there but I doubt he gets it.

    David for forethought
    and ten digits

    Now we as taxpayers will have to pay his hospital and surgery bill. Sick to death of people like this.

    New appreciation for the scripture: “If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off…”

    To bad it wasn’t the whole hand!!! Age 15 and already stealing, he will continue his stealing with 9 fingers… I have no pitty for a thief. Over the years my house has been broken into twice and a rented storage building was broken into and cleaned out.

    I can’t put my finger on it, but something screwy going on here. ;-)

    So much for the five-finger discount.

  15. funny on July 26th, 2012 2:49 pm

    it would have been better if he lost his toe, since he was already at a “toe-ing” company.

  16. Kristy on July 26th, 2012 2:40 pm

    Isnt that a law in some country. You steal you get your finger cut off? Probally the best lesson he will ever learn.

  17. BubbaRay on July 26th, 2012 2:25 pm

    Hope he learns the lesson better than the drunk teenager in Gulf Breeze did…
