ECSO: Woman Pulls Machete On Man Outside Century Business

March 29, 2017

A woman was jailed after allegedly threatening a man with a machete in the parking lot of a Century gas station Monday afternoon.

Sandra Ann Delafosse was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia following the  2:50 p.m. incident at the Century Food Mart in the 7900 block of North Century Boulevard.

The victim told deputies that Delafosse pulled a machete out of her car and approached him. He said he was in fear for his life and that he felt she was going to cut him, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.

When deputies searched Delafosse, they reported finding a burnt glass pipe on her person.  Further details on the incident have not yet been released.

Delafosse was booked into the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $7,500.

    If you are going to wield a machete, leave your drugs at home; or is it the other way around.

    Man, what is the world coming to? Doesn’t anybody go nuts without the help of drugs? :)

    I hope there is more to this story than was made public – like she knew her target, domestic violence, etc. I would hate to have her bail out with such a low bond and go after random people with a machete.

    A concealed carrier would have been justified in shooting her. She’s fortunate that didn’t happen.

    Could the machete be considered an assault weapon? if so it may be time to introduce legislation banning their sale.

    So sad, I pray that she gets some help. Seriously though, nothing that happens in Century surprises me anymore. Our town needs a lot of prayer.
