Stolen U-Haul: Brewton Man Arrested, One On The Run After Century Manhunt
April 4, 2019
One suspect custody was taken into custody and another was on the run following a manhunt in Century Thursday morning.
An Escambia County deputy attempted to stop a U-Haul truck that had been reported stolen from Georgia when the driver and passenger stopped and bailed out at a residence in the 100 block of Hilltop Road. A K-9 team from the Century Correctional Institution was quickly able to track one suspect and take him into custody.
Jeffery Alonzo Ivery, age 28 of Brewton, was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, fraud failure to redeliver hired vehicle and resisting arrest. He remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $11,000.
The second suspect, identified as 42-year old Manadre Jamel Houston, evaded capture, according to Maj. Andrew Hobbs of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Houston was described as a black male with braids wearing white pants and a possibly a striped shirt. He is expected to face local charges including fleeing from police, plus possible additional charges from Georgia.
The cargo of the U-Haul was mostly empty.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

When the other is caught, extradite them back to Georgia in the back of a U-Haul…
My snookie pookie innocent
hate seeing the town become a joke. changes need to be made.
>>Wondering why north Escambia named these two and where the location they bailed out and didn’t name the guy last week who bailed out after crashing his vehicle after running from the law.
In yesterday’s incident, the ECSO released the info. In the incident last week, FWC did not.
Who would you bring a stolen u haul truck From Georgia into century Florida
@Buster, They just seem so very Centuriesk.
They just appear to belong.
Wondering why north Escambia named these two and where the location they bailed out and didn’t name the guy last week who bailed out after crashing his vehicle after running from the law. I am all about catching all of the ones who break the law but don’t cover up for some. As far as we all know he is still hiding out at the Indian Reservation.
Which of you people think that Century was the final destination?
They probably brought drugs down to resell or something that or its some people that century mayor higher to get people off his back lol
Maybe they were bringing in some of that good old DC voltage to run the city with and perhaps the U-haul had a load of proper language and reading and writing skills…..just saying
“what could they have hoped to find in a place such as Century?” maybe they had a truck filled with batteries for the low voltage lighting project the mayor was Hawking. Or maybe they came here for the long term loans they heard about.
Who lives (stays) at the 100 block of Hill Top road, Century Florida..
Why do stupid folks keep coming here? Don’t we have enough of the kind as it is? Jeez!!
What could they have been so desperately fleeing from in Georgia and what could they have hoped to find in a place such as Century?
