Century Man Sentenced For DUI, Threatening To Kill Three Deputies
November 2, 2012
A Century man was sentenced this week for DUI and threatening the lives of three Escambia County deputies following an April 16 traffic stop at North Century Boulevard and Highway 4 East.
Jeremy Scott Young, 35, pleaded guilty to three counts of corruption by threat of public servants and he was found guilty of DUI. He was sentenced by Judge Darlene Dickey to a total of 24 months probation for all charges and sentenced to 50 hours of community service for refusing a DUI test. His license was suspended for one year, his vehicle was impounded for 10 days and he was ordered to complete recommended counseling.
Young was stopped by an Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy after he was observed driving erratically on North Century Boulevard. The deputy reported smelling the odor of alcohol from Young’s breath and vehicle. The deputy also noted an open light beer container in an Auburn hugger on the dash of the truck. Young refused multiple requests to submit to a field sobriety test.
Just before being taken to jail, Young reportedly told two deputies that he would “see them tomorrow night and that they would die”, according to an arrest report, adding that his threat was not a joke. He then obtained the unit numbers for both deputies “and continually began stating their numbers over and over trying to remember” them.
Young then told the deputy transporting him to jail that he would kill him if he was “molested” while in jail.

This is a ridiculous punishment for this guy, he could have killed someone from the dui !!!! MOMS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING !!!!!
WOOOWWW i get busted for drinking under 21 and get nearly the same punishment wat an awesome court system we have not sayin i got punished too hard but thats a little rediculus
Im Mom…..i love it when something happens with other peoples children im sure theres plenty of you need to clean up around your own backdoor no saint myself have skeltons in my own closet!!!!! Listen can you here that rattle of bones while youre talking about somebody!!!!
Well, Patriot, I think it would be better to have this guy work and pay taxes instead of locking him up and costing taxpayers upwards of $100K.
While I appreciate your enthusiasm for incarceration, I think it is much better to have this guy and others like him pay into the system instead of draining it.
Has he hurt anyone? Nope. Could he? Sure. So could you, stone cold sober.
This guy got lit, acted a fool and got popped for it. Old boy is paying his debt to society. I’d like to see him do it in the form of fines instead of time. Why? Because it costs us less and provides a similar level of deterrence.
Give him a work license! Stop excusing the DUI! I am tired of the excuss and then the deaths!!!!
I have a suggestion: Let’s lock him up for 5 or 10. He was convicted of 3 felonies, along with his DUI (not his first either). He also has a couple of driving with suspended license convictions too, so yes, I am suggesting that he will drive anyway.
You see, Molino Jim, taking someone’s license relieves them of their driving privilege. Because he does not have that privilege, society expects him to refrain from driving on public roads. Because he cannot drive on public roads, he will have to impose upon friends and family in order to get to and from work or any of the other places that people need to go these days.
I suspect you are suggesting that he will drive anyway and that you think that some other action should be taken to keep him from breaking the law again.
What do you suggest? Shall we lock him up for a year or two at $20K a year courtesy of the taxpayers or should we let him continue to work, pay taxes, and be as productive as he can possibly be without driving privileges? You don’t want to live in a world where you can and will be convicted of crimes simply because you have the potential to commit them.
@Bogian–He just does not have a license—-as if that matters.
Stay classy Auburn fans.
I see the real problem here … the Auburn hugger … thats discrimination cops.. and that is wrong! …
The community service seems a little light, but not being able to drive for a year can be life changing for someone that lives in the north end. Without the same level of access to the public transportation resources that are widely available in the south end, this guy is going to have to burden everyone around him for rides to and from everywhere.
And I’m glad he actually entered a guilty plea. It turns my stomach when people don’t own up to their actions.
Wow I hope he learned his lesson with all that community service he got. Can’t imagine why we have so many reoffenders.
