Molino Man Charged With Stealing Copper Wire, TV
April 28, 2014
A Molino man has been charged with selling copper wiring allegedly stolen from a private contractor working aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola and breaking into a Molino area home.
Calvin Antwane Smith, 28, was charged with felony fraud providing a false statement verifying ownership of regulated metals, and felony dealing in stolen property in connection with two spools of copper wire he allegedly sold to two recycling companies. An Escambia County Sheriff’s Office investigation determined that the wire had been stolen from his private contractor employer at NAS Pensacola.
Authorities said Smith could face additional charges from NAS Pensacola Police for the theft on federal property.
Smith was also charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and second degree petit theft for allegedly breaking into a home in the 5000 block of Cedartown Road and stealing a 26-inch television.
According to Sheriff’s Office report, Smith admitted to stealing the TV due to a drug problem.
Smith remained in the Escambia County Jail early Monday morning with bond set at $23,500.
