Man Accused Of Firing Shotgun Outside Century Bar
July 2, 2021
A Century man was arrested this week on outstanding warrants for allegedly firing a shotgun outside a Century bar and fleeing from deputies last New Year’s Eve.
Antonio Marcello Lett, 35, was charged with discharging a firearm in public, improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon and resisting an officer without violence.
At about 2 a.m. on December 31, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to Odom’s Bar on North Century Boulevard after receiving a report that a man armed with a shotgun had fired twice into the air and was threatening to shoot people. When deputies arrived, Lett immediately took off running from the north side of the bar, according to an arrest report. Lett ran south on Ivey Lane behind the bar and then west toward NAPA Auto Parts on Century Boulevard. He was eventually detained behind a trailer in the 100 block of East Cottage Street.
Two spent shotgun shells were found on the north side of the bar, and a shotgun was located next to NAPA Auto Parts, the report states.
A witness told deputes that he heard five or six gunshots behind the bar. He stated that he heard it was “Bana” Lett that had a gun, but he did not actually see him.
Surveillance video from the bar showed Lett appearing to be arguing with individuals in the parking lot before firing the shotgun into the air twice, the ECSO report states.
Lett was also charged for failing to appear in court for a misdemeanor offense of driving with a suspended or canceled license. He remained jailed Friday without bond.

In case U didn’t know… the Bar has a new owner…. assuming that’s why cameras are not “working”.
Oh, the cameras was working that night? It just picks and chooses when it will record I guess.
Why wasn’t he charged with possession of a firearm by felon discharging a firearm by a felon possession of ammunition by a felon
Lucky that he was not shot dead.
To hmmm
He wasn’t even 60 .. I’m 59. Please don’t call me elderly.. must have been a young person who wrote that one … Anyways yes it’s a shame that circumstances could not have turned out for the better. But it didn’t… those people will just have to live with it or not …. Maybe they should post a sign on the door saying Enter At Own Risk !!! Seriously if more people at these establishments will act RESPONSIBLE !!!
Agree with Surveillance on that statement, except the elderly part. “60” Cameras are everywhere, unless they don’t want to “know” who took the fatal blow to Greg.
Just wondering why it took till now to pick him up for that offense
It says surveillance from the bar showed him appearing….Yet they can’t find the elderly man’s murderer?? What a joke
Not to smart there Mr. Lett…. Your “up-bringing” has failed you…
