Century Man Receives Probation In Shots Fired Incident
July 28, 2019
A Century man has received probation in a shots fired incident earlier this year in Century.
Johnny Lee Biggs, 42, was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Circuit Judge Stephen Pitre withheld adjudication and sentenced Biggs to 14 months probation and fines. He was also ordered to undergo a substance abuse evaluation and to not possess any firearms during his probation. Withholding adjudication which means Biggs will not have felony record if he successfully completes the terms of the sentence.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrived at a shots fired call the night of February 10 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.

Why are you worried about his ability to vote instead of him owing a gun? He shouldn’t be able to own one in my opinion. He’s not responsible.
@Nick
Felons can now vote in florida as long as all terms of their sentence are completed.
I think he should have lost any right to possess a firearm. Ever.
Thats just wonderful, he can still vote. Ridiculous!
