Century Man Charged With Weapons Offense, Resisting Deputies
January 14, 2015
A Century man awaiting trail for allegedly torching a vehicle in a Century ballpark has been arrested on additional, unrelated charges.
When deputies responded to the Relax Inn on Mobile Highway on a separate call, they reported 18-year old Aubrey Odom III acting elusively and attempting to evade them. When deputies made contact with Odom, he would not answer if he had any weapons on his person while keeping his hands hidden in the front portion of his pants. Odom attempted to run but was subdued, according to an arrest report.
He then admitted to having a weapon in his pants, and deputies reported finding a loaded semi-automatic handgun.
Odom was charged with a felony count of carrying a concealed firearm and resisting an officer without violence. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $16,000 on the recent charges and for the arson-related charges from last July.
Odom was charged with arson in the second degree, criminal mischief and vehicle theft for the July 1, 2014, incident in which a care was allegedly stolen from the Food Giant in Century and burned in a local ballpark.
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.
The ballpark’s concession stand, owned by the town of Century, suffered minor damage, with vinyl siding melted off the back of the building. Damage to the building was estimated at less than $2,000.

@Don… yes, this is ridiculous. Remember the woman who was caught speeding across the 3-mile bridge last week? Her actions caused serious injury to a GB officer. She was caught later and still driving wrecklessly and in felony possession of narcotics… free on $2000.00 bond. She’ll probably get probation.
What is the point of a judge putting conditions on some ones bond? (Not to get in any trouble, no contact with the victim, ect., or your bond will be Revoked.
And the same thing when they are convicted and get out on probation. Same conditions adding you must take a drug test.
Then not even a month later they get arrested AGAIN for another crime and giving bond AGAIN or on probation they fail a drug test 2 differnt times and still don’t get sent back to prison?
Why don’t they hold these judges responsible when these people has violated there probation or bond and don’t get locked up and go on to commit a serious crime?
So $1,600 bucks and he’s back on the street…about par for Pensacola thugs,and he’ll have no problem raising that cash.
