Century Man Allegedly Attacks Victim With Machete In Sheriff’s Precinct Parking Lot
November 19, 2015
A Century man was jailed after allegedly ramming his truck into another pickup, pinning his wife, and going after a man with a stick and machete in the parking lot of the Sheriff’s Office precinct in Century.
Norman Tracy Tedder, 49, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without the intent to kill, battery, aggravated batter with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief with property damage. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $5,000 bond.
Deputies responded to a reported disturbance at a home in the 7000 block of North Century Boulevard, adjacent to the parking lot of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Century Precinct and the Century Courthouse.
A victim told deputies he went to the address to pick up Tedder’s wife because she thought he was going crazy. Tedder allegedly tried to ram the victim’s truck, and Tedder’s wife was wedged between the two vehicles. The victim stated that after his truck was hit, he pulled over in the parking lot and ran toward the precinct. He told deputies that Tedder ran over to him with a large stick and struck him before retrieving a machete and busting out the taillight on his truck.
The victim stated that he feared for his life as Tedder swung the machete at him.
Multiple witnesses, who were at an ECAT bus stop in the parking lot, corroborated the victim’s story, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman struck by Tedder’s pickup told deputies that she got in the way, and she was unintentionally hit by her husband. She suffered an apparent broken leg, according to an arrest report.
A witness in the vehicle with the man that was attacked told deputies the altercation started because Tedder sent nude photos of his wife to his phone. The witness had texts and pictures on his phone to back up the story, the report states.

What kind of husband dad or grandfather use`s a machete to protect his family at his own yard where it started I know both sides of the story and I’m a dad id have to say I’d done the same….
He was at his own home and I was thanking of his family the story your hearing is just one sided I seen everything… This all started just from a husband a dad a grandfather trying to protect his family
@coseys ex
You’re right damn the children. They should have never gotten themselves into this mess.
WHAT!!!!!
Seriously? I hope that you’re being facetious when you are asking us to help his family. You want us to condone his bad behavior and help the family that he didn’t think about when he was wielding a machete around and running people over. You are what is wrong with society today. Perhaps if he thought of his family he would’ve been home taking care of his family instead of on the streets committing crimes.
Want to help this family out? Urge him to put his children/grandchildren up for adoption before he ruins their lives and urge his wife to seek counseling and a divorce atty. That is how you can help this family.
They were on Facebook begging for donations, money, and food for their family and grandchildren. However, they can make bail. Someone please step in and help these innocent children they claim they are raising!
@ former proud century resident:
There are the same things wrong that were wrong when you lived here. Neighbors watching out the window at dope deals stores get robbed everyone knows who done it but won’t nobody say. Then when someone gets hurt or killed you will be the one saying they didn’t deserve this they never did anything to anybody this don’t make no sense. Sound familiar. The community is the biggest problem don’t get mad become a voice
Hey I was a witness too all this but the texts and photos didn’t come from he’s phone it was another number and the photos was not of her nude she was in like swimsuit and stuff like that someone got of her Facebook and the dude riding with this guy told Norman two days before this he was gonna kidnape his wife and when the Norman was gonna move the guys truck out of his yard using his own truck the guy pulled Normans wife between the trucks and then started laughing and told him him look I made u hit ur wife and on the machete they did have guns but someone in a dark colored car left with them right before the cops got there…..look all I’m trying to say is please don’t talk about something u don’t have the whole story to …bc it’s bad when ur just trying to protect ur family and even one makes u in to the bad guy
Isn’t this the same man the former Flomaton Police Chief went into Florida and wrongfully arrested????
When machetes are outlawed only outlaws will own machetes…
You have to wonder how did he take those nude photos.
What happened to our town? It’s became a damn shame.
“Charged assault with a deadly weapon (WITHOUT) THE INTENT TO KILL” are you kidding me and he’s out on $5000 bail, Unbelievable ,and to send nude pictures of your wife to your friends is disgusting. He had better get right with God before its to late!
So when will this make the Jerry Springer Show?
