Wanted Century Counterfeiting Suspect Arrested

August 27, 2018

A wanted Century felon accused of passing counterfeit money was arrested Sunday night after being on the run for the past several weeks.

Antonio Demetrius Ewing, 28, attempted to pass counterfeit money on July 16 at Odom’s Bar on North Century Boulevard and other local businesses in the area, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Ewing is charged with passing counterfeit money, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, driving while license is suspended, resisting arrest and vehicle theft. He was being held without bond.

Montaio Dearies Mitchell, age 25 of Century, was arrested earlier this month for allegedly passing a fake $100 bill at the drive-thru window at Odom’s Bar.  He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $2,500 bond.

    @Stumknocker , I didn’t say give them money because of their disorder. Where do you get that? Oh yeah, out of nothing I said. As for seeing these people, I see their families lined up every Friday waiting to visit and I know that PROFESSIONALS are counseling them in the error of their ways. I’m not in that career. Are you? I agree with family structure, disipline, and values. I don’t expect teachers to raise the children, only to educate them. Is that enough for you or will you continue to assume things in my statement that I did NOT say? Have a nice day!

    @mike j , sounds good to me, so mike how many hours to you plan on spending at the local jail or prison convincing these people, or since it’s a disorder how bout we cut them a check like in Chicago not to commit crimes. I think it leans more to family structure and values along with discipline and people stop expecting teachers and such to raise their children for them.

    @SAM, the problem is NOT with the Justice system. The problem is with the PEOPLE who commit these crimes over and over expecting a better result next time, expecting to get away with the crime, expecting to not get caught. That’s crazy, in my opinion. The willingness to commit a crime that hurts others physically or financially is a mental disorder. These people need help to convince them of the error of their ways and guide them toward better alternatives, after they get out of jail.

    @LOL. Trying to survive by committing crime. Why not having using the education system and learn to read and write. Better yet, go to work instead to survive.

    @terrance wright….a guy passing a few counterfeit notes just trying to survive gave you nightmares. You need to get a life. All you do is come to this site demanding the head of people for petty crimes. You and others like you are sad.

    Outstanding job by the Escambia County Cops. This guy gave me nightmares while out on the streets. I’m glad he’s behind bars where he need to be. Hopefully he gets more than 10 years this time.

    A felon with multiple convictions, caught again. Does anyone see something wrong with our justice system? What do we pay taxes for?
