Man Charged With Thefts In Century, Walnut Hill
October 23, 2015
A Century man was jailed on a felony charge after allegedly stealing a TV from a Century garage and a generator from a Walnut Hill home.
A resident of the 100 block of Mincy Court told deputies that William Edward Perry, 55, walked off with a 25-inch TV taken from her garage.
Deputies located Perry hiding behind a privacy fence at a nearby home and the TV on the other side of the fence. He told deputies that he had done yard work for the property owner on Mincy Court and that he thought the TV was junk and no good. He first told deputies that he was going to fix the TV and return it, then he said he was going to remove the transistors and sell them for money.
Perry was charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and petit theft first degree.
He was also charged with petit theft for allegedly stealing a generator from a home on Mayhaw Road in Walnut Hill. He later said he sold the generator for $150 to man in the “hood” near Pond and Jefferson streets in Century, according to a witness statement.
Perry remained in the Escambia County Jail early Friday morning with bond set at $32,500.

@Maybe…So stealing is better than drug dealing? He’s a poor guy because he is having a hard time? What if the drug thugs are selling because they are having a hard time? A crime is a crime. Maybe his bail is so high because, as David said, he has been “scrapping” in the past. Sheesh…
He was good at telling folks that others said he could take what they owned.
We have fewer antiques since he went “scrapping” in our back yard.
Half of a cane mill. Told the Mayhaw resident Mama said he could have it, told Mama my cousin said so.
David for better people, fewer lies
$32,500? Wow, this poor O’ Guy seems to have been having hard enough time just trying to steal stuff to make a living and now has to come up with $3250.00 just to get out of jail and the Drug Thugs get out on a $5,000.00 ($500.00) bond release. Just saying. lol
