ECSO: Man Trespassed On Northview High Campus, Threatened To Kill Student

May 3, 2018

A young Century man has been arrested after allegedly trespassing on the Northview High School campus and threatening to kill a student.

Levi Austin Cofield, 18, was charged with trespassing on school grounds, simple assault and criminal mischief with property damage.

The victim told deputies he was walking by the after school car rider line when he heard Cofield yell out the passenger window of a truck that he was going to “beat” him. The victim said he ignored Cofield and continued to his truck in the student parking lot. The victim said he got into his truck when Cofield approached and attempted to pull the door open. He said he grabbed the interior door handle to close the door, but Cofield grabbed the door and yanked it so hard it broke the interior of the door, just before Cofield pulled the door handle off.

Cofield then used thge door handle to strike the driver’s window several times while stating, “I will kill you,” according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.

The victim said he had previous been threatened by Cofield while off the school campus and told deputies Cofield wanted to fight over an incident due to a previous incident between Cofield’s adult brother and the victim.

Another student confirmed the victim’s account, according to the report, as did surveillance video.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, Cofield withdrew from Northview High School at the end of the 2016-2017 school year, is not an enrolled student and “had no business at the school on the day of the incident”.

Cofield was trespass warned…no longer allowed on the Northview campus, including a ban from any after school activities.

He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $1,500 bond.

    Young man….
    Get yourself somewhere and finish your education.
    Spend your life working for pay not for free in Prison.

    It is common for a 18 yr. old boy to have anger raging inside of him. I just hope he cools off and comes to his senses, because if he really does what he said he was going to do, it would ruin 2 lives.

    As a parent, I do hope the parking lot is monitored closer for awhile. Sure don’t want anyone to get caught in middle of a revenge scene.

    What happened to the days of telling a man if he wants a shot at the title to meet up after school. You fought, shook hands later, end of story!
