Son Charged After Dad Reports $37K In Musical And Fishing Equipment Stolen
October 23, 2014
A Cantonment man was arrested on long list of charges after allegedly stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of musical and fishing equipment.
Andrew Mark Hintz, 32, was charged with at least 10 counts of felony fraud for providing false information to a pawn broker, 10 felony counts of dealing in stolen property and three felony counts of larceny.
Hintz allegedly took the items from his father’s home in Beulah while the father was working out of the country. Items reported stolen included numerous pieces of musical equipment, guitars, amplifiers and fishing equipment with an estimated value of $37,000.
Hintz pawned over $15,000 worth of property belonging to his father, receiving a total of $3,570, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
According to the report, Hintz had permission to be in his father’s house while he was out of the country, but no permission to take and pawn the items. The victim told deputies that his son has a drug problem.
Hintz remained in the Escambia County Jail early Thursday morning with bond set at $25,000.

Jah.. It’s silly to think someone so drowning in addiction, he steals from his father.. Could say no. Not that simple or eas. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a problem. B4 yal judge,read up or attend an NA meeting. I prayed to GOD to please make me stop. Finally after years, and prison, & different drugs. I met a wonderful therepist. That is what saved me. Prayer & a person that knew about addiction & cared enough to help me.
U know people say jail dont help yes it does cause he dont have quick access to get drugs and can sober up and think bout what hes done 2 others and mainly his family the ones he needs right now…dad dont bail him out just yet he needs to learn a hard lesson i know u feel sorry 4 him but he will be fine and sober….i know this from experince been there with my son
So sad if he is on DRUGS. i think the state should try to HELP these people instead of LOCKING them UP! By NO means am I saying let him off easy. BUT JAIL will NOT HELP him in the long RUN. You have to change your whole life style! I dont know this young man, but I do know he has children. & the worse part is they will suffer the MOST!! PLEASE PRAY for this MAN!!!
Sad what drugs do to you!! And your family are usually the ones to get screwed the worst!
So much for blood being thicker than water, shameful ,disrespectful no count…
The cycle goes on. This isn’t Andrew’s first brush with the law according to public records & sadly, it likely won’t be his last. His father has done much for Andy & this is disheartening to say the very least. Drug addiction or none, there are several opportunities between the thought & action of pawning the property where this guy could have stopped and said NO to himself!
I really hope his dad does not bail him out. That his son could just steal what he didn’t earn is real cold.
