Suspect Arrested After Breaking Into Camper In Cantonment
January 16, 2019
A man was arrested after breaking into a camper trailer at a Cantonment residence Wednesday morning.
Jonah Richard Harris, 28, was charged with third degree felony burglary of an unoccupied structure, petit theft and simple assault.
About 6:40 a.m., the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to Plaza Road after a resident discovered a man later identified as Harris inside a camper. Harris fled the scene, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
He later threatened a woman that he made contact with as he was fleeing the area, deputies said.
The Sheriff’s Office established a perimeter and K-9 units responded to search for the burglary suspect. Harris was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Escambia County Jail at 10:08 a.m. He remained in jail Thursday with bond set at $7,000.

$7000 bond is a joke. It cost him $700 to get out.
The suspect ran through my property this morning at 0632hrs and he had a firearm with him at the time. Scared the crap out of my son when he ran through!
This man should not have bond. He has MULITPLE prior arrest, some of which are for the same as this charge! Answer me this question, how does he receive bond for this charge, when is currently released on bond from another charge? So now he will pay his bond and come back to terrorize the neighborhood again? It wasn’t just one house he went to, he was seen at multiple houses, running around the neighborhood then threatening a woman. SERIOUSLY, when will our system start throwing the book at repeat offenders, instead of just letting them bond out to commit more crimes. Nine different arrest over drugs and burglaries, come on, something has to change.
Thank you to the Escambia County Sherrifs Office for your quick response and dedication to protect the citizens of our county. The Men and Women and K-9 of the ECSO are the best. Nothing short of professional. Again, Thank you !!!!!!
