Escambia Man Faces Up To Life In Prison For Home Invasion Robbery
April 28, 2019
An Escambia County man is facing up to life in prison for a 2017 home invasion robbery.
Shaba Ryheem Savage was convicted of home invasion robbery with a weapon, kidnapping with a weapon, false imprisonment with a weapon, false imprisonment of a child under 13 years of age, grand theft, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
In February 2017 Savage and his co-defendant Terrell Williams forced their way into an Escambia County residence while armed with a long gun. Savage is alleged to have held the family at gunpoint while Williams forced the father to drive him to various ATM machines in an effort to acquire cash. During the incident, the father was struck in the head with the weapon and numerous items of personal property were stolen from the residence.
The investigation into the home invasion continued after Williams’ arrest and Shaba Savage was identified as the second intruder. Savage was ultimately identified through the use of Facebook photographs. Additionally, one of the victims located her property in a pawn shop. The investigation determined that Savage’s then girlfriend received those items from the Defendant and had pawned those items shortly after this robbery. Savage was then arrested.
Savage qualifies as a habitual felony offender and prison releasee reoffender. He had been released from prison in June 2016 eight months before this incident. He faces up to life in state prison.
Williams was sentenced to 25 years in state prison.

The plus side is the courts will remove a 26 year old habitual offender from our streets for the rest of his life. But we should not forget there are always downsides.
1) Another life wasted and now rotting in prison.
2) It will cost Florida citizens One Million Dollars ($1,000,000+) or more to keep him there for the rest of his life along with the other 100,000 plus inmates.
As a side note, the FDOC FY2019-2020 budget will increase from $2.4B to over $2.7B. That is a lot of zeros. $2,700,000,000.
