Century Woman Charged With Allegedly Threatening To Shoot Two People At Her Door
December 17, 2021
A Century woman was charged with two felonies after allegedly threatening to shoot two people at her door.
Margaret Mary Parker, 68, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in a domestic violence situation and aggravated assault.
According to an arrest report, a man and his girlfriend had just arrived back in town after a business trip and attempted to enter the home. Because of the domestic violence charge, it’s known there was some relationship between Parker and one of the victims. But it is not clear what that relationship is because much of the arrest report is redacted.
The male victim told deputies he attempted to reason with Parker, but she refused to let them in. She went and got a semi-automatic handgun that she pointed at the victims while threatening to kill them, the report states. Part of the incident was recorded in a phone video that was provided to deputies.
Parker told deputies that both individuals were intruders and that is why she pointed a gun at them and threatened to shoot them, according to the arrest report.
The semi-automatic handgun was collected as evidence.
Parker was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

Bewildered on Dec 17,
You’re wrong on that long eviction. Judge Kensey ruled you’rebehind on rent for ANY REASON, landlord xan evict in Escambia county. Ask my bum tenants on Bush St. Out inless than 30 days. Have a great attorney that knows the law
..there is something missing in this storey…If some one comes to my door and wants to come in , whether I know them or not, and I don’t want them to enter , and they refuse to go away , I have every right to use whatever force needed to refuse entry. ..At that point ,I might call 911 for a deputy, but we all have the right to protect our homes and property…
Why is it you can invite someone in your home, but you can’t ask them to leave without a court order? I don’t know the circumstances of this situation but obviously there’s more to this story than is being told. Not sure who the true victim is here.
I’m sure that the deputies know they will be called back to the house again, probably soon.
If my husband showed up at my door with his girl friend and taping me on a phone well just let me say. The deputy took the wrong people away.
Was it just a threat or just a beneficial warning?
Some people are just TOO kind.
Does that say HER door ? As in HER property ? Lol
This is so sad. Makes me wonder what is happening at that home now where she is out on bail and back at home. ? If it’s a son or daughter or other relative who had moved in with her and then brought in another person , she is stuck with the people. Laws prohibit her from telling them they are no longer welcome and an eviction process can take months to get enforced. With Covid regulations it’s practically impossible to make someone leave
Go Granny Go!!!
If you let someone stay at your home and have changes of clothes there, then you have to have them lawfully evicted to make them leave. Relative or not. Stranger or not.
Does this mean that everybody that knocks on my door can come in?
If the two who wanted inside the house have been living inside the home and the owner wants them to move out the owner will have to file a “complaint for Unlawful Detainer”. Unless the two are paying rent then an “eviction notice” is needed. If she didn’t want them inside, call 911 to resolve the problem.
She posted bail, now give her back her gun.
Does this mean you can’t stand your ground??
No Baker Act?
Looks to me like the wrong person(s) might have been charged.
I know her
If Parker owns the residence and pays taxes on it, she has a right to deny entry to anyone without a lawful warrant to enter.
This must be some of that “woke” stuff.
@Bobby G
I guess you missed the question mark at the end of the sentence. Obviously I wasn’t on scene and was merely commenting on a news article I read. With the charges and the video I’m sure the deputies charged her appropriately.
@Shay,
You cannot make a medical diagnosis from the use of one word.
Domestic violence or an altered person because of Alzheimers or mental illness? Seems odd she would tell the deputies that the victims were “intruders” instead of they don’t live there.
