    Home invasion has a very steep punishment. Also that person needs to get their relationship right with God when they do that type of crime as they are surely in need of it and you never know when the time to meet up will come.

    @JTV I agree!!! If the K-9 did get a taste, I hope the dog doesn’t catch anything or have a bad taste left in its mouth.

    $21,000. bond.. It cost more to chase him all day.
    Something’s wrong with this. .
    He should stay locked up long enough to get the drugs out of his system.

    Thank you Escambia County sheriff deputies for helping us sleep a little better in the north end. This is second thief I am aware of on Still rd. Still road has lots of traffic these days especially at night for those up to no good. The days of leaving a door, barn or vehicle unlocked is long gone.

    Hopefully the K-9 got a taste of him.
