Cantonment Man Facing Vehicle Theft, Weapons Charges
February 9, 2021
A Cantonment man is facing vehicle theft and weapons charges.
Jakob Gunnar Oosterhof, 28, was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of drug paraphernalia and knowingly driving with a suspended license.
A deputy checked the tag on the Buick driven by Oosterhof as he pulled into the Circle K at 330 Kenmore road and discovered that the vehicle was listed as stolen.
A K-9 search of the vehicle found a .380 semi-automatic pistol, five hollow point rounds in the gun’s magazine and a clear glass smoking pipe, according to an arrest report.
Oosterhof also had outstanding warrants for robbery and battery. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $17,500 bond.

I know him. He has been through a lot. I mean a lot and was a great kid. No excuse but the odds were against him.
I know him since he was a child and he’s had a rough life his entire life, none of which was his fault. Not making excuse for him but I know his history and feel so bad for him.
@ Blopez. He did it, no one but him to blame. Its not society that created him, he has made every choice in his life and just like you and I we sleep in the bed we made. Ill not shed a tear nor give a damn about his plight
No one really knows what this man has been through in life. Yes he has made some bad choices and maybe even influenced by others around him at the time. But most of you that have never lived on the street would never understand how hard the other people on the street make it for someone.
As far as paying taxes well u need a job to do that and that would mean someone would have to hire you first. He is still very young and so I’m sure his 1st arrest was at a very young age. Therefore he had a record that kept him from getting a job not to mention the money that it takes to get to a job and clothe yourself with nice clothes for a job. Young people like this that have never had any financial support get caught up in the street life and are used for unimaginable things that they are pressured to do for ones that are considered “higher up”.
So until you actually know his story I think it’s fair to be neutral in this case. Once law enforcement in Escambia county have your number it’s easier for them to blame you.
@Worthless
Welfare is a safety net for people that are looking for work, can’t find work, or can’t work.
There are worthless people out there and criminals that will milk the system. Nothing can be done about that. I think it is funny how some people think that limiting or taking away welfare would somehow magically turn these worthless people into good upstanding citizens. It wouldn’t. They would all just commit more crimes, and their children would all be hungrier and more prone to becoming juvenile delinquents.
Neither political party is going to get anything accomplished without accepting that a considerable percentage of any group of humans are just low-down bums, and nothing is going to change that. If you let them starve, they are going to go after the working people, and that’s just a fact.
A convicted felon with warrants and he gets a bond. Would judges be so quick to act if the released were in their neighborhood? I understand there are laws they must follow but at what point is common sense lost?
@ Worthless
Amen Amen
@ steve. Well criminal activities (stealing and selling stolen items, stealing cash, selling drugs)…unemployment…and welfare that pays for their food and rent means people who dont work often have more money than those of us who work 40 hours a week because we have to buy food and gas and pay mortgages and taxes. People like this guy get their hands on under the table cash from their illicit activities and get to use it however they wish because we working folk pay taxes which pays into welfare which supports those folks.
But at the end of the day I’d rather be an honest hard working citizen who is responsible and pays my own way and scrapes by, versus being a low life criminal.
— (now for those folks who want to hop on and say how this poor soul is a fine upstanding man who was set up or wrongfully accused, go right ahead and say what you want. I’ve added my 2 cents)
Taking out the trash
I’m sure the K-9 search only hit on the pipe, which in turn allowed the deputy to find the pistol
He already out.. How do people like this afford to bond out but not be productive in society?
no lessons learned by this already convicted felon, time to move into the advanced 10 year rehabilitation programs offered by state prison.
I’m sure he’s one of those really nice guys who would take the shirt off your back in your time of need…. oh.. wait…. is that how it goes?
