ECSO: Two Teens Caught In The Act Of Burglarizing School In Century
February 9, 2021
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said two teens were arrested after being caught in the act of burglarizing a school in Century.
The ECSO responded to a burglary in progress call at the Pensacola State College campus on East Hecker Road in Century.
When they arrived on scene, Deputy Zachary Ward heard glass breaking inside the college, and Sgt. Bill Price witnessed a suspect throw a fire extinguisher through a glass window.
Deputies arrested and charged 16-year old Hezekiah Bell (photo not available) and 18-year old Joshua McCall of Flomaton (pictured) on charges of burglary and criminal mischief.

My original comment was referencing Charlotte Bate’s post that suggested a stint in prison for the 16 year old.
@ great idea where does it say he’s got sentenced to prison? They never throw first time offender into prison, go sit in your local courthouse. When you see someone go to prison for what some people call a minor offense they have more than likely broke their probation. Again I haven’t seen your better solution.
@Stumpknocker
That’s a next level projection post but I’m sure you mean well.
Never said I knew it all or volunteered for raising those boys. But I dang sure understand that throwing a first time 16 year old offender into state prison is a really dumb idea.
@ Great Idea so are you saying you will be willing to take this kid into your home free of charge and teach him a better way since it sounds like you have all the answers, these two may have had their life saved that night, because if that had been someone’s home it would have turned out differently.
Yes– great idea to put a 16 year old in prison to “see what life would be like…” for this “oh so horrible” crime.
More like a guarantee that he learns even worse behavior and never has a chance to redeem himself.
Great plan!
Sam, please do not put them in my military. We need mature men not kids that act out. We have better things to do than babysit and potty train.
why? at their age “why” never entered their minds. a couple years in the military would adjust their attitudes.
For everyone’s benefit that you dont understand why they did it…is a good thing. If you could rationalize why…you would think like them. And be there with them.
Hope they turn their life around
Most likely these young men were from Christian homes I’m guessing because of their first names. Good names, by the way. I will pray for each of these sons. Lord, please make this event a life lesson for their good and your glory!
Send them to boot camp. I would give, especially the 16 year old, about six months in the state prison, so he can see what life will be like if he continues on with this kind of behavior. Just may open his eyes, and hopefully, turn him around.
He was caught in the act. Guilty! Now do a speedy sentence like Odum. But the parents will say, “not my boy” & have him plea “not guilty” & go thru costly trial. This event is reason for cops to wear cameras.
Now that you have a little time to think about it. What were you thinking.
their first run in with the law and not the last i’m thinking. great start in life.
“Anne on February 9th, 2021WHY would anyone destroy and damage places that are doing GOOD?? Obviously the 18 year old will be tried as an Adult while his dear friend will likely get a smack on the palm with a Nun’s ruler and sent home.
Long range, hope they turn life around and learn to be Good Citizens.”
According to FL law, if both are charged with felonies, they should both be punished as adults. Unfortunately, they will most probably be bailed out and the parents will say they were just being kids… Many times, parents and boredom because they are not required to actually do anything useful, contribute to their brattiness…
