ECSO: Cantonment Man Stole Checks From Business, Cashed Them
April 24, 2019
A Cantonment man has been charged after allegedly taking checks from a West Nine Mile Road business and fraudulently cashing them.
Robert Carl Godwin, 35, is facing multiple felony counts, including dealing in stolen property, grand theft and uttering a forged instrument.
He allegedly stole keys and several business checks from his stepfather’s business, Horizon Home Improvements, and he told deputies he formerly worked there as a warehouse manager, according to an arrest report.
Godwin allegedly cashed multiple fraudulent checks taken from Horizon Home Improvements at a check cashing business on North Pace Boulevard, including checks for $1,250 and $940, the report states.
He was allegedly in possession of 10 checks and keys from business the time of his arrest. The business owner told deputies that Godwin was never issued or given keys to the business.
Godwin remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday with bond set at $40,000.

Bartender where have you been I ask what is a road crew certainly you do mean anything like a chain gang I dare you wanting to put our poor old inmates to work why this might get in the way of there big party that goes in there all the time. You silly rabbit work is for us honest and good folks not inmates.
Shame on you Robbie for embarrassing your Mom and Stepfather. I know well that you have been raised to not do things such as this. It must have been very hard for your Stepfather to have you arrested. He has been in your life for many many years to call you his own. Now you have plenty of time doing nothing to think all this over and over.
I hope you get your life back in order.
At 35 yrs he should have been well on his way to having a career and a good life.
Why did he work instead of stealing.some kids just to darn lazy to work.now he might be working on road crew for free
