Molino Man Sentenced To 15 Years For Burglary, Grand Theft

November 10, 2012

A Molino man has been sentenced to 15 years in station prison as a habitual felony offender on charges including burglary and grand theft.

Troy Edward Massey, 48, of Barth Lane, was convicted by an Escambia County jury of burglary of a dwelling, grand theft, resisting an officer without violence and criminal mischief.

He was arrested in September 2011 after brief manhunt and foot chase following a burglary on Fairway Drive in Pensacola. A man and wife came home to discover Massey in their apartment, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report. He fled on foot, leaving behind two suitcases that he had packed full  of silver platters, silver utensils, silver drinking cups, a fur coat, currency and a gold bracelet. He had also allegedly packed another bag with a .22 caliber rifle and 13 bottles of alcohol.

At the time of his arrest for the Pensacola burglary, Massey had outstanding warrants for home invasion robbery, aggravated assault and petty theft.

On August 20, deputies responded to Bamer Holley Lane in Molino where a resident reported Massey barged into her home armed with a paring knife just after 10 p.m., yelling “You have to hide me” and “You have to save me”.  The resident reported  Massey looked through her cabinets and purse before fleeing on foot. A short time later on nearby Brickyard Road, another resident reported a person matching Massey’s description had attempted to enter their home while saying that he was being followed.

Earlier this year, Massey was convicted of aggravated assault in connection with the Molino incident and sentenced to 14.4 months in prison with credit for 249 days served.

Massey previously served prison time in Florida for offenses including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, child abuse, trafficking in stolen property, grand theft and providing false information to a pawnbroker, according to Department of Corrections records.
