Bratt Man Skips Court Date For Battery Conviction Sentencing

August 29, 2013

A Bratt man that was the subject of a July 2012 manhunt near Northview High School is behind bars after skipping court on sentencing day for felony conviction.

Marvin Anthony Haynie, 49, was arrested on an outstanding failure to appear warrant and is being held in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $10,000. Haynie was due to be sentenced on March 19, 2013, after being convicted on a charge of felony battery, but he did not appear in court for his sentencing, according to court records.

He now scheduled to appear for an arraignment hearing next week.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Offices responded to Haynie’s residence on York Road on the afternoon of July 25, 2012, after receiving a call that Haynie was physically fighting with a minor at that home.

Prior to the arrival of deputies, Haynie had fled into a wooded area around the residence. A K-9 team from the Escambia County Road Prison responded to the area, but their search was unsuccessful.

A short time after deputies left the area, they received a tip that Haynie had exited the wooded area. He was taken into custody on the front porch of a nearby residence without incident.

    What’s that ole saying in the south?

    “YA JUST CAN’T FIX STUPID”. Not calling this man stupid, but the action of skipping out on a court date is stupid. Failure to appear is just nonsensical. You’ve been caught, you know whatscoming and you miss your court date. Cmon fellas. An FTA is nonsensical.

    Just show up! Its not like its an everyday job you’re late to. Its once or twice you actually have to be on time! And the result is additional jail time!

    What that ole saying?

    “HE WOULD BE LATE TO HIS OWN FUNERAL.”

    I dunno if it’s such a good idea to set bail so low.

    After all, you just arrested him for not coming back when he promised.
