Stolen Vehicle Torched Inside Century Ballpark
July 2, 2014
The Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the apparent arson of a stolen vehicle inside a Century ballpark Tuesday morning.
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.
A 55-year old Century woman said the car was stolen on Monday, leaving her with no way to work.
The ballpark’s concession stand suffered minor damage, with vinyl siding melted off the upper floor of the building.
The Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue extinguished the blaze. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is also investigating the incident. There were no injuries reported.
