Century Armed Standoff Suspect Enters Plea
April 18, 2013
The man arrested last month after an armed standoff with deputies in Century has pleaded not guilty.
Isaac Levon Mitchell, 28, charged with two counts of aggravated assault on an officer, resisting an officer with violence and improper exhibition of a firearm. He is set for trial on the charges in July.
Deputies said Mitchell has allegedly stalked an employee at the Century Town Hall since at least February. When he made contact with the employee at the town hall a little after 7 a.m. on March 20, deputies were called. They chased Mitchell toward Alger Road, but lost sight of him. Deputies determined that Mitchell was wanted on an outstanding failure to appear warrant in a concealed weapon and resisting an officer case.
Later in the morning, deputies observed Mitchell again near the town hall and observed him run and enter a mobile home on Alger Road. Mitchell was reportedly in communication with a deputy through the back door of the mobile home as additional deputies entered the front door.
Mitchell allegedly pointed a shotgun at deputies in a hallway before he barricaded himself inside a bedroom in the mobile home, still armed with a shotgun.
As deputies tried to negotiate with Mitchell, he jumped out of a window with the shotgun and ran toward North Century Boulevard, dumping the shotgun, shotgun shells and .22 caliber ammunition in a nearby yard.
He then ran across the highway and into the Century Food Mart and got on the floor behind the counter. Deputies said Mitchell was known to the clerk. The clerk, with a Sheriff’s dispatcher on the phone, talked Mitchell into surrendering peacefully to the deputies outside the store.
Mitchell is also awaiting trial on stalking charges. He remains in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

He doesn’t have to plead guilty just to make us happy.
Nor does the state have to offer a plea bargain.
David for reality
Of course he plead “not guilty”.Now we can waste more of our tax dollars defending him,feeding and housing him and after his attorney”s fees are paid,again by we taxpayers he will cop a plea bargain….
