Investigators, Family Members Seek Answers After Man Found Seriously Beaten In Century Bar Parking Lot

June 25, 2021

Family members say a 60-year old Century man remains in a coma after being beat in the parking lot of a Century bar last Saturday night, and they are hoping someone will come forward with information.

About 10 p.m., the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a man down call in the parking lot of Odom’s Bar on North Century Boulevard at the state line. They arrived to find the victim in the parking lot.

Witnesses told deputies Saturday night that Hunter was seen involved in a “shoving match” in the parking lot, but he did not appeared injured. The witness went inside the bar, and when they went back outside, they found Greg Hunter unconscious and bleeding, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

A family member told NorthEscambia.com that Hunter remains in critical condition, and they want justice.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information on the incident to call the ECSO at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and are eligible for a cash reward.

    Hey that is so sad.I pray for this man that he will recover..
    A few years back my son and his best friend was beaten by three guys in the parking lot at the tavern In Atmore the owners then pleaded with them not to say anything because they would lose their license it’s really sad that no one is protected when they go in and have their afternoon drink I don’t know the whole story as far as the man in the century bar but I do know these people need to be protected as they’re leaving the facility! Especially if they have been drinking someone needs to let them sober up before they drive I just don’t drink until you’re drunk …. I no longer attend any bars in this area because I feel it’s unsafe I really do hope this man recovers and can at least tell the cops what had happened if he’s mine let him remember God bless stay safe people it’s not worth it

    Where was the security or bouncers during this shoving match? Seems like they were not doing their job if they didn’t intervene or call the authorities when things got out of hand. There’s two kinds of drunks, the happy kind and the mean drunk. You don’t need to get into it with a mean drunk.

    I know this man very well, he is a very close friend of my family’s, he wouldn’t hurt anyone and for someone to do this to him is just not the least bit called for. You need to be a man and come forward and handle your business and let this man’s family know what happened to him. He’s in critical condition if this was your father, brother or friend you would want to know what happened. Something is being covered up and it will come out in due time. Your witnesses may not be as credible as you think they are. You know who you are, come forward.

    I guess Odom’s is not a friendly neighborhood bar and hang-out where patrons know each other. Not sure what ECSO can do in this case, the type of injuries he has might shed some light on what happened

  8. Someone knows something!!! on June 25th, 2021 7:07 pm

    I implore you to come forward, someone saw this happen!!! Someone knows who he was in a shoving match with, you would want answers if it was your family!!!

    Wondering about the so called “WITNESS”?

  10. AC on June 25th, 2021 9:12 am

    One would think that an establishment such as Odom’s Bar would have video cameras outside their business. And they very well may have; and if they do, I hope they recorded whatever happened to this man.

    Hopefully a witness comes forward.

    Apparently the cameras at the storage units didn’t pick up this incident. And the good ole boys ain’t talking. If it was your family, you would want some answers.
