Escambia Man Gets 78 Years For Burglary, Criminal Mischief
August 30, 2012
An Escambia County man, 42-year old Russell Smith, has been sentenced to prison after being convicted of burglary with assault or battery and criminal mischief, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins.
On January 16, 2012, Smith knocked on the victim’s door several times before kicking it in, presumably to steal from the victim expecting no one to be home. The victim and his two sons chased Smith from their home and detained him until the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrived. At the time of this offense, Smith was on probation for multiple counts of burglary and was also found guilty of violating his probation.
Judge Linda Nobles sentenced Smith to 78 years in state prison to cover all charges against him.
