16 Arrested In Six Day Operation From Kingsfield Road To Warrington

April 26, 2017

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office recently conducted a six-day operation that arrest those responsible for multiple burglaries, robberies and grand thefts throughout Escambia County, from the Kingsfield Road area, to Avondale to Warrington.

Because of the increase in violent crimes and burglaries, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Operations Division preformed “High Intensity Patrols” in numerous Escambia County neighborhoods. The six-day operation resulted in 16 arrests, four guns recovered, and several different illegal narcotics taken off of the streets. Two stolen vehicles  were also recovered during the operation. Deputies also issued eight criminal  citations and served seven outstanding warrants.

Deonte’ Bodiford was captured at Pines of Warrington in a stolen vehicle with a gun, narcotics and stolen property.  He is also a suspect in a home invasion earlier the same day.  Bodiford’s  charges included burglary with assault/battery and use of weapon during felony.

Conner Scherffius had active warrants from a burglary that occurred in March in which $10,000 worth of equipment was stolen and pawned. He was found riding a bike on Kingsfield Road.  Scherffius was arrested for burglary, grand theft, fraud  and dealing in stolen property.

Markesia James who was featured on the ECSO Facebook page as wanted for questioning in a string of burglaries was arrested with outstanding warrants.

Another man,  Kevin Owens, was arrested after he tried to carjack an undercover deputy in an unmarked car. Click here to read more.

A complete list of those arrested during the operation has not been released.

    Sam,
    Staying at home is why these punks have free range of our communities. It is sad that elderly people no longer feel safe to take an evening stroll. or families are afraid to let their kids play outside after dark. I am sure you are not the type of person that would coward in your home fearful of venturing out at night but the sad truth is, many people are scared to go out at night. I live in a very rural area of Escambia County, a few years ago a certain element moved into our quiet neighborhood, and several of my older neighbor were literally intimidated to the point they locked themselves in their houses after dark. This is a terrible thing to be happen in our Country. Maybe it’s time we took our streets and communities back.

    When there are signs in the yard “Cameras In Use” that’s exactly what it means. Sending in videos to Law Enforcement from your stupid acts of burglary will get you caught every time. You’re lucky to be alive. If I had been home that morning you kicked in our door, yeah you know the answer to that. Sorry pieces of crap !

    Can’t we just put these people on an island and call it a day? What a waste of time. Let them steal from each other.

    I have cameras, Big Dog and guns.. And I’m a Viking ;) If any punk tried to steal from me it would be the biggest mistake of their life.. I wonder how many victims feel like looking up these fools for revenge?

    There are some bad dudes roaming our streets that just don’t want to work for a living. There are plenty of jobs.
