Arrest Made In Century Shots Fired Incident
February 13, 2019
An Alabama man was jailed for allegedly shooting at a Century man.
Johnny Lee Biggs, 42, was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrived at a shots fired call Sunday night at the intersection of West Pond Street and West Highway 4 to find the victim on top of Biggs.
The victim said he was at his Pond Street home when Biggs came to the home uninvited. He said a verbal altercation followed, and Biggs pulled a firearm from his pocket and fired. A witness said the victim tackled Biggs to the ground, according to an arrest report.
Biggs told deputies a different story. He said he was dropped off at the victim’s home, and the two got into an argument over a woman. Biggs said the victim retrieved a firearm and threw it at Bigg’s feet, stating “pick the gun up and shoot me if you think you’re tough,” the arrest report states. Biggs said the victim lunged at him, and the firearm accidentally discharged.
The victim was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital for treatment of an injury he received during the fight. He was not hit by gunfire.
Biggs was later released from jail on a $5,000 bond.

Mr. Biggs’ side of the story is crazy. The “victim” must be one bad dude. He throws a gun at your feet, dares you to shoot him, then takes the gun from you and subdues you until the police arrive. His nickname must be Shaft!
The truth IS like a lion…set it free and it will protect itself!!! Every time some so-called bad macho man pull out a gun and still get beat down, they wanna call it a frame!! “Oh, now they didn’t have no gun.” Now, “it’s a setup!” Yeah, right!!
The trap you say somebody laid for you is the trap YOU laid for somebody else! Now, that same trap that you laid for somebody else, turned around to be the same trap you fell in.
That’s bull that man was set up and y’all all in century know the sorry people that are still running around here.they framed that man. The truth is like a lion set it free and it will protect itself
