Century Man Charged With School, Residential Burglaries
September 25, 2014
A Century man was arrested this week for stealing thousands of dollars worth of items from an empty Century school and local homes in a series of burglaries.
Taylor Blade Scott, 18, is accused of breaking into the former Carver/Century K-8 School, which closed in 2009. Once inside during the July burglary, Scott, allegedly took an ice machine, computer wiring, garbage disposal, two stainless steel sinks, four stainless steel garbage can boxes and an window air conditioner. The property was valued at $3,000, and damage to the building was estimated at $1,100.
The day after stealing the items, Scott and a second man allegedly sold the items at Advanced Environmental Recycling in Flomaton for $199.17. An arrest warrant is outstanding for the second suspect.
For the school burglary, Scott was charged with grand theft, burglary of an unoccupied structure and felony criminal mischief with property damage.
In August, Scott allegedly took a Stihl leaf blower valued at $400 from a shed in the 6800 block of North Century Boulevard. He later told deputies that he tried to pawn it but was only offered $80, so he sold it to a man in the parking lot of the Cash America Pawn Shop on Nine Mile Road for $100 “because he needed money’, according to an arrest report.
He was charged with grand theft and dealing in stolen property for the leaf blower theft.
Scott was also charged with an August burglary at a second residence in the 5800 block of North Century Boulevard. He is accused of stealing a 40-foot ladder, a bushwhacker, tools, a battery charger, jewelry, cell phones, and a .22 caliber gun.
He was charged with grand theft of a firearm, grand theft of dwelling, burglary, criminal mischief and two counts petit theft.
Sc0tt remains in the Escambia County Jail without bond due to a probation violation charge.

Haley…you need to introduce yourself to some honest hard working guys….you are throwing your love away on a thief..no judging here…he stole the stuff by his own admission. Don’t stand by this man honey…or you too will be beside him in a line up….
To Haley…..sweetpea,he has chosen the path he’s taking….and thereby,putting himself in the position of being known by his actions and the folks he’s hanging around…..so,please let this be a learning experience for the folks that are possibly headed down that very same road……..
You will be loved always .. and unless u are god no one has any right ro Jude
So far all that effort and time, assuming he split the $199 for the stuff from the school with the other guy, this fool netted what, $200? Now, instead of buying a 12 pack and some burgers to throw on the grill this weekend, like he would be if he’d been working a real job, he’s sitting in a cell looking at going to big boy jail. Well, if thugs were smart, police wouldn’t catch so many of them.
Dang Blade i guess u still chose a path that gets u in trouble like always
How can this guy be turned around? It takes more energy to do the things he did than to work at an honest job.18 yrs old, sad.
Its sad a young man who appears perfectly capable of working for a living has taken the wrong road…. Stealing for a living.
In my opinion there is not much worse form of life than a thief.
If you are really in need, most folk will give you more than you can take from them.
I hope the Judge will give him a year or so to think about a better way to make a living and possibly amount to a decent young adult when he gets out.
