Stolen Restaurant Lunch Leads To Jail Time For Century Man
March 14, 2018
A Century man has been sentenced to time in the county jail after failing to pay for a lunch from a local restaurant.
Na’Keetric Devonte Davison, 25, was received a total of 270 days in jail for possession of cocaine, carrying a concealed weapon and petit theft. He was given credit for 130 days service while awaiting trial.
The Southern Panhandle restaurant reported last October that Davison left the restaurant without paying for his $21.48 lunch and was walking north on North Century Boulevard. Responding Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies caught up with Davison near Zion Street.
After being instructed to keep his hands out of his pockets, Davison reached back into his pockets, prompting a deputy to draw his weapon and order Davison to remove his hands, according to an arrest report. After he was placed in handcuffs, deputies reported finding a restaurant steak knife in his pocket. When it was removed, a small plastic bag containing what was later identified as crack cocaine fell to the ground.
A restaurant staff member was able to positively identify Davison as the person who did not pay for lunch and identify the steak knife as belonging to the business.

CONSIDERING:
“I am not making excuses for stealing, but…”
Actually that is what is being done…making excuses
“when you look at the way people get bond around here, you might better understand that hopeless part of poverty”
In this case, bond only comes up as a consequence of being charged for crimes committed. But, when folks assume poverty and wealth were just passed out randomly or cruelly, there are illusions going along with it.
David for better excuses
Locust: u say he’s in poverty and needed food. I guess he got the cocaine for free? Decisions decisions we make.
I guess he forgot that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
coke possession only gets you that many days? wow.
Poverty causes the illusion of stupid, and wealth causes the illusion of smart, but being hungry and not having a plan has caused people throughout history to break the law. I guess the fella who shot at his neighbor and was out of jail with low bond, and this guy spending months in jail for taking a knife and a meal……..with high or unobtainable bond tells me the whole story. I have never been hungry, no money, no job, and no hope, so I am not so sure that I would not have piled the food on not knowing when I would eat next. I am not making excuses for stealing, but when you look at the way people get bond around here, you might better understand that hopeless part of poverty.
What do eat at lunch for nearly 22 bucks. I guess he had a big ole steak with that knife.
You just can’t fix stupid and from the panhandle really… It is a huge family place like how did he really expect to get away with that? What is wrong with people?
