Altercation Outside Century Bar Lands Man In Jail

August 1, 2013

A Flomaton man was jailed after allegedly having an altercation with a woman outside Odom’s Bar in Century before fleeing on foot to Alabama.

Michael Dannell Pleasant, 34, was charged with battery and petit theft. He remained in the Escambia County Jail Thursday morning with bond set at $5,500.

During the early morning hours of Tuesday, Pleasant allegedly snatched 24-year old Jessica Ann Mathis out of a vehicle parked outside Odom’s Bar on North Century Boulevard. Mathis told deputies she had just sat down in a male friend’s Land Rover when Pleasant grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to the ground, causing injuries to her elbow, back of her head and ankle. Mathis alleged Pleasant then took her iPhone 4, scratched and kicked her car, and then took off running behind the neighboring Flomaton Wholesale into Alabama.

Mathis and her male friend followed Pleasant to his home on Martin Luther King Drive in Flomaton. The Flomaton Police Department, assisted by the Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office, responded.

Mathis told deputies that she and Pleasant had lived together “as family” for three years, but they were currently separated.

After returning to the bar, Pleasant told deputies that he had lived with Mathis for four years and he made contact with her when he saw her sitting in a car with another man outside the Century bar. Pleasant told deputies he grabbed Mathis by the arm and asked her to get out as she exited the vehicle. Pleasant told deputies that he took the iPhone and walked away.

Mathis was arrested on an outstanding failure to appear warrant in a traffic case. She was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $250 bond.

    “You’re” should be “your”

    “you’re” means “your are”

    your is possessive ownership
