Two Arrested For Torching Stolen Car In Century Ballpark

July 23, 2014

Two Century residents have been arrested for stealing a car from the Food Giant in Century and then torching it in a ballpark.

Michael Alexander Dubose, 20, and Aubrey Odom, 17, have been charged with arson in the second degree, criminal mischief and vehicle theft for the July 1 incident.

The fire was reported about 7:15 a.m. behind an concession stand at the Lloyd Barrow Field on Church Street. The 1993 Buick Century was in an area not normally accessible to vehicle traffic. A witness said the vehicle had no tag attached.

The ballpark’s concession stand, owned by the town of Century, suffered minor damage, with vinyl siding melted off the back of the building. Damage to the building was estimated at less than $2,000.

    You would think they would of been nice enough to burn the car further away from the building. People just don’t seem to care.

    Thought I had seen this person before. Seems to enjoy the life of a criminal.

    This is not the first time that Mr. Dubose has had run ins with the law due to sexual misconducts, and now the guy steals and torches a car?! Someone has obvious mental health problems and should be confined to a federal institution. Just goes to show how silly our justice system is, and how easily repeat offenders are just let loose.

    I would suppose the first one was a joy ride. Their next ride (through the justice system) most likely won’t be, though, I hope.
