Burglar Shot By Homeowner Now In Escambia Jail
May 25, 2013
A week after being shot by a Walnut Hill homeowner, a Century man is now jailed in Escambia County.
Ricky Dewayne Taylor, age 33 of Front Street, was booked into the Escambia County Jail Friday afternoon on charges of burglary, larceny, criminal mischief property damage and battery. He was being held without bond as an out of state fugitive due to an outstanding warrant with another agency.
On May 17, a resident of the 3900 block of Rockaway Creek Road reported a burglary in progress at his home. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said he arrived home to find two intruders inside of the residence.
The homeowner held the suspects at gunpoint while he called the Sheriff’s Office. As the victim was speaking with dispatcher Taylor lunged toward him. The homeowner fired a .38 caliber revolver, striking Taylor in the leg. Taylor was alert and conscious when he was transferred to LifeFlight to be airlifted to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola.
After Taylor was released from the hospital, he was arrested the evening of May 21 in Escambia County, Ala., and then extradited to Florida to face outstanding warrants.
The female suspect, 35-year old Teresa Dianne Sunday, received a minor injury on her face from a ricochet; she was taken into custody at the scene and charged with burglary of a residence and grand theft. She remained in the Escambia County Jail early Saturday morning with bond set at $12,500.

Bamma Boy,
The comment is about second chances. The Bible is about second chances. Seems pretty clear to everyone but you. This man deserved death for his actions. The wages of sin is death. For all of us. I personally think that breaking into someone’s home is one of the worst things that you can do to them. I have had my home burglarized and it is a scary and awful fealing that doesn’t go away for a while. Many of us get second chances when we don’t deserve them. If we take advantage of them then great. Otherwise, hell is in our future. I would be a little more careful before start judging “the church” as you call it. Sound like you may need do a little more thinking sometimes and less talking.
REGARDING:
“Your comments make no sense. You say that the guy deserved death for his actions yet you hope he turns his life around, and gets saved. If you think he is lost and he should have died then you would have wanted him to go to Hell. Yet, you hope now he gets saved and goes to Heaven. This is a picture of what is wrong with the church today. The church is full of biblically ignorant people not stupid. But in your case Bobby you sound like both.”
Sure it makes sense. To say his actions deserved death is a bit harsh but there is reason to support the statement and is in keeping with Christian teaching that we are all sinners who deserve death. As he is right now, he is a danger to all others.
To say he hopes he repents is in keeping with Christian teaching regarding mercy and salvation. If he becomes a different person, he will no longer be deserving of death.
No reason to be unkind to him especially since he is not being inconsistent, nor unkind.
David for getting better than we deserve
Good for the homeowner. Who cares about the criminal. Got what they deserved, and I don’t care if I offend any family members of the said criminal.
Way to go homeowner! That’s what will happen at my house too, if some lazy, no accounts decide they’d rather have what I’ve worked for instead of working for it themselves!
Warning to burglers and felons…this end of the county is armed and will fight back! Then they call the LEOs!
Bobby,
Your comments make no sense. You say that the guy deserved death for his actions yet you hope he turns his life around, and gets saved. If you think he is lost and he should have died then you would have wanted him to go to Hell. Yet, you hope now he gets saved and goes to Heaven. This is a picture of what is wrong with the church today. The church is full of biblically igonorant people not stupid. But in your case Bobby you sound like both.
Bobby…..I do not think he worries too much about someone else breaking into his home. Now they know Homie don’t play.
2 shots to body mass (HP is best ). Shoot to kill.
(Shooting to wound is not an option. Unless you like lawsuits.)
Tell LEO you thought your life,family was in danger of being liked by the thug.
Thank LEO
Shut mouth. Shut mouth. Shut mouth.
Read up on stand your ground law. Its not so clear cut as Fox news wants you to think.
his aim was too low….
Way to go Walnut Hill resident! I cyberly shake your hand ! Job well done !
Well this guy deserved death for his actions. This homeowner will never be the same and I’m sure has problems sleeping for fear that someone will break in their home. I just hope this criminal turns his life around, gets saved and pays back what he owes God and society.
