Century Man Threatens To Kill Deputies, Every Cop That He Sees

August 27, 2014

A Century man is behind bars on a weapons charge after allegedly threatening to kill multiple Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies and every cop that he saw.

Aaron Tyrone Madison, Jr., 31, was charged with possession of a concealed weapon by a convicted felon and criminal mischief with property damage.

An Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy observed a four wheeler traveling north on Highway 29 carrying a passenger. The driver cut across Highway 29 onto Highway 4A.  The deputy caught up with the four wheeler after it stalled in the 4000 block of Highway 4A.

The driver of the four wheeler, identified as Madison, immediately took “an aggressive posture by balling his fists and taking a fighting stance, then started cursing, and threatened to shoot me and every cop he sees,” an arrest report states.

Madison told the deputy that he was upset because “the police were shooting [expletive] in the street,” according to the arrest report. The deputy reported that Madison continued to be aggressive, verbally abusive and continued to threaten to kill him while holding an aggressive stance with his fists balled up. Madison was detained after he pleaded with the deputy to shoot him.

A loaded .22 caliber semi-automatic Ruger pistol was found concealed under the driver’s seat of the four wheeler, with one bullet in the chamber and the weapon ready to fire, according to the report. Madison claimed ownership of the gun, saying “he wanted to shoot some police”.

The passenger on the four wheeler was released and not charged.

While being transported to the jail, Madison slipped his handcuffs to the front and attempted to break the plexiglass partition in the deputy’s vehicle as he yelled for the deputy to stop the vehicle or he would climb up front and kill him. The deputy stopped his vehicle near the Camp O’ The Pines in McDavid where additional deputies arrived and assisted in placing Madison in leg restraints and reposition his handcuffs. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at less than $200.

Madison made several more death threats to each deputy and stated several times that he wanted deputies to shoot him, the arrest report states.

Several corrections officers were needed to removed Madison from the deputy’s vehicle.

The deputy’s in-car video and audio were active during the incident.

Madison remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $15,500.

    I thank the bail they set was wrong to. He has a mental problem. You have to look over people with mental stuff going on. They Caint do that. Shouldn’t be able to do that. And he just needs help. Not a jail house….

    People that want to threaten law enforcement officers may want to think about their actions? We may be sick and tired of our loved ones being threatened! We may know how to fight back also. Mess with my family and you mess with me too!

    I remember this young man as a child and I know his mom. No one wants this for their child. This is sad too sad, but try to respect the fact that this is someones son that took the wrong path and negative comments will not make it better. Who is perfect in an imperfect world. I pray for strength for the mom. I have been there as a mother and it is a hurtful situation to be in if you love your child. I pray for him and his mom.

    Hate breeding hate breeding more hate. Will cable tv take responsibilty? No. I am so tired of being told who to hate and why. The judge was very incorrect with the bail set. Any threat to a law officer should be a million. This way those breaking the law know they will sit in jail for awhile. My father was a law officer and this type of story makes me sick. Pray for these officers every day. They have family who love them!

    I agree with Sam.^^^ I would say those who are Christians should really pray for our area and our nation. I would hate to see the scenario that is happening in Missouri, happen here. God have mercy on us and protection for our officers. That man is crazy.

    I agree with native. Why would they let this man loose? He sounds dangerous .He is going to try to get shot, which will stir up more racial tension.

    Why isn’t he being held ‘with out bond’ after all the death threats to our law enforcement? Geez, he’ll post bail and soon we’ll be reading where this same idiot has killed an officer or two!! Our judicial system is so inept!!

  14. Don on August 27th, 2014 6:04 am

    Too bad the deputies didn’t honor his request.

  15. jon on August 27th, 2014 5:17 am

    Good job cops you guys should make the national news for showing the proper way to deal with someone acting in that manner and not just shooting them like in Missouri

  17. Ponch on August 27th, 2014 3:45 am

    …and stated several times that he wanted deputies to shoot him

  18. emschick on August 27th, 2014 2:16 am

    Ol’ boy is lucky he didn’t get shot I’d think.

    Sounds like a loose cannon. I hope the Escambia Sheriff’ Office does an Operation Clean Sweep of Century very soon and gets these kinds of people off the streets and behind bars. I’m seeing a lot of arrests from this area and I think there is more activity than the ones that are being caught.
