Cantonment Man Charged With Burglary

August 19, 2012

A Cantonment man has been charged with burglarizing a home on Neal Road.

Joshua Dylan Leavell, 20, was arrested this week on an outstanding warrant for burglary, criminal mischief and petit theft. He remained in the Escambia County Jail  early Sunday with bond set at $11,000.

On September 25, 2011, a resident reported a burglary in the 200 block of Neal Road. The victim reported that someone broke in through a bedroom window and stole Lortab from her bedroom.  Fingerprints at the scene were from Leavell, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

Leavell told deputies that he had opened the bedroom window, but another man had actually entered the house. The man fingered by Leavell had an alibi, according to deputies.

    It is surprising that more burglars are not shot by homeowners. Just because there is no vehicle in the driveway doesn’t mean that no one is home.

    I sure hate it for the person(s) who try to break into my home and succeed. And these people know that 4 out of 5 houses have guns. Instead of breaking into homes, they might as well play russian roulette with a revolver with 5 out of 6 rounds in it. Seems about the same odds to me.
