May 29, 2015

A Century man was arrested Thursday night in connection with a drive-by shooting earlier this month in Century.

Jermain Lavelle Smith, 29, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, firing into a dwelling, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, criminal mischief with property damage and resiting arrest with violence. He was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $1,355,000.

A resident of Archie Street called the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office on May 18 to report that they had found bullet holes in their home. One bullet hole through a  front window was easily visible from the street as deputies and a crime scene technician conducted their investigation.

There were no injuries reported.

    What?! Existing gun laws were ignored by the convicted felon? Imagine that!
    Guess he would NOT obey and NEW gun laws either!
