July 11, 2014
A man charged with series of business burglaries in Century has entered a plea to the charges against him and now faces up to a decade in prison.
Jason Allen Bodiford, 35, entered a no contest plea to multiple charges, included burglary, larceny, criminal mischief property damage and illegal use of a credit card. Bodiford, who told officials he is homeless, remains in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $43,750 as he awaits sentencing next month before Judge Ross Goodman. Bodiford faces a maximum of 10 years in state prison.
He reportedly admitted to investigators that he burglarized Century Marine, Rhonda’s Hair Salon, the Happy Star Chinese Restaurant and the Century Flower Shop. Business owners reported that Bodiford had visited their places of business prior to the burglaries asking for money.

Bodiford was originally arrested December 30 at a motel in Atmore and booked into the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton on a failure to appear charge on traffic tickets in Alabama. He was extradited to Florida to face the burglary related charges.

Seriously? Who knocks off a Chinese restaurant?! “GIMME THE MONEY! Oh and some cheese wontons too!” Lol
I’m glad this guy got caught! I get my hair cut at Rhonda’s and Misty does a really good job for me. I just hope the ladies at Rhonda’s didn’t have too much taken from them and I hope they got back what was taken. I swear ya’ll, I just hate thieves!
